asikluci gdje ste sada kao nekad u mahali
haj pusti sevdah gdje da pane
na mahale porusene
Nejma vise stare cesme
ni oraha kraj cardaka
nema moje mile Esme
dame ceka kraj duseka
Ref.
Haj Bosno moja, moj uzdahu
Esmo moja, moj sevdahu
Ni sazlije nekucaju
sevdalinke stare pjesme
niko vise nepominje
dicno ime moje Esme
Ref.
Ni bajrami vise nisu kao sto su bili
