Gazi Husrev beg
Safet Isovic · Other Songs - Safet Isovic
ko nam seher izgradi
od kasabe posta grad
pogledajte sad
Nije bilo carsije
ni lijepe dzamije
nije bilo hamama
ni jednog bezistana
Medju dole i brijeg
u tu pustos i snijeg
gdje je moguc samo bijeg
dodje Gazi Husrev-beg
Pogledaj sta uradi
nimet vijecni posadi
svud haire izgradi
srce Bosne podmladi
Izmijenise ljudi cud
cisto srce posta svud
istopi se zlobna cud
puhnu dobro odasvud
Nagizda se carsija
nice biser dzamija
skuci se sirotinja
jer joj dodje gazija
Vijek za vijekom prohodi
a ime mu ne blijedi
jer u vrhu vrhova
bdije dusa begova
Kroz carsiju kad prodjes
s njim se odmah susretnes
svaki ducan kazuje
ime slavnog gazije
Mahsuz selam tom caru
cuj sta velim na kraju
u boga se uzdaju
svi sto iman imaju
Maksuz selam seheru
odoh ja u dzamiju
da se tamo sijetim njeg
Selam'alejk Husrev-beg
