Nibak hindu dengan Jawa
Nibak Cina na sigeuteu
Adat badu ngon Manila

Bangsa Jawa ngon Meulayu
Le that teungku keunan teuka
Hingga rame nanggroe makmu
Meurah breuh bu meuhai lada

Bak peukayan dum ban laku
Ureung hindu nyang peuteuka
Cuba tilek tingkah laku
Bajei Badu ladom pih na

Susoen bahsa Ara Meulayu
Barat timu bacut biza
Bahsa Arab na sigeuteu
Jampu bawu laen pih na
