Cudna jada od Mostara grada

sve od lani pa evo do sada
kako Biba od ljubavi strada
U Habibe Celebica Zlata
svaka rijec hiljadu dukata
Bol boluje Celebica Biba
bol boluje nikom ne kazuje
Jadna Biba bole bolovase
a majka joj ruho prelagase
Kceri Bibo ti rumena ruzo
kazi majci sta te boli duso
Mene boli i srce i glava
otkad Ahmo s drugom razgovara
Kakav Ahmo voda ga odnijela
zbog njega si Bibo oboljela
Mila majko nemoj Ahme kleti
reko me je na jesen uzeti
Mila majko, selam ces mi Ahmi
nek mi Ahmo u petak ne drema
nek se Bibi na dzenazu sprema
