عزوني يا ملاح في رايس البنات * سكنت تحت اللحود ناري مقديا
يــاخي أنـــا ضرير بيــــا ما بيــا * قلبي سافر مع الضامر حيزيــا
يا حسراه على قبيل كنا في تاويل * كي نوار العطيل شاون نقضيــــا
ما شفنا من دلال كي ظي الخيـال * راحت جدي الغزال بالزهد عليــا
و إذا تمشي قبـال تسلب العقـــال * أختي باي المحال راشق كميـــــــا
جاب العسكر معاه و القمان وراه * طلبت ملقـــاه كل الاخر بهديـــــــا
ناقل سيف الهنود يومي غي بـاليـد * يقسم طرف الحديد و اللي صميـــا
مــا قتل من عباد من قوم الحســــاد * يمشي مشي العنــــاد بالفنطازيـــا
ما نشكرش البــــاي جرد ياغــــــناي * بنت احمد بالباي شكري و غنايـــا
