U Stambolu na Bosforu
ima dvora dva
za te dvore u Stambolu
svako ture zna

U jenom je mlad kalife
lijep kao dan
a u drugom djul Fatima
ponos Stambola

Oj bogati mlad kalife
Allaha ti tvog
ko ti dade zlatne kljuce
od harema mog

Dala mi ih tvoja seja
i poljubca dva
a do zore kolko bjese
ni sam ne znam ja
