Ah, meraka u veceri rane
Saban Saulic · Other Songs - Saban Saulic
sastala se druzba aksamlija
u sljiviku pod beharli granom
aj, rahatluku nigdje kraja nema
gdje Fazila mezetluke sprema
Od istaha i behar se kruni
u casice pune sljivovice
podvriskuju aksamlije rane
aj, dodj' Fazila, mladosti ti tvoje
natoci nam biser suze svoje
aj, bez sevdaha nema zivovanja
bez Fazile nema milovanja
Ah, meraka u veceri rane
