Kono Fato, asik zlato

Kono Fato, asik zlato neharato
ne mori me mlada, plahim asik ahom
ne igraj se duso
sa kara sevdahom

Kad sevdahom srce plane
krv uzavre vrisnu rane
gore nego s dzeferdara
jatagana i handzara

Ti se smijes sa pendzera, ni habera
a u meni srce puca, stijeno ledna
kao ljeti na pripeci, zemlja zedna

Aman reci sta cu s rana
bez mehlema i dermana
djul-behara tvoga lica
i serbeta sa usnica

Kono Fato asik zlato, neharato
daj rastjeraj oblak
tuge s neba moga
suncem lica i sevdahom, srca svoga

Ako neces vjeruj meni
odsad duso do jeseni
kad prekipe ceznje moje
bice svasta s nama dvoje
