Vorwärts mit des Vogels Fluge,
Fort!, fort, mein Roß in Sturmesflucht!
Denn gemordet liegt der Feind
Drunten in der Felsenschlucht.
Halala leila halala!
 
Mondlicht zittert! In der Wüste
Bäumt ein Schatten sich empor.
Und die Stute beißt den Zaum,
Schaudert, schnaubt und spitzt das Ohr.
Halala leila halala!
 
Jussuf senkt die Lanzenspitze
Spornt das Tier mit aller Macht.
Doch der Schatten unbewegt
Steht im Weg ihm da und lacht
Halala leila halala!
 
Rückwärts wendet sich die Stute,
Braust dahin in Sturmesflucht,
Und der Mörder liegt zerschellt
Bei dem Feind in tiefer Schlucht.
Halala leila halala!
