| Noureddin the son of the Shah | C |
| - | |
| I will shut him close in an iron cage | F |

| And away to the mountains his loved one bore | G |
| Loud his glee rang back on the winds Ha ha | C |
| Noureddin the son of the Shah | C |
| - | |
| And still in the town of Teheran | H |
| When a youth and a maid adopt this plan | I |
| All frowns and threats with a laugh defy | J |
| And away from the mosques to the mountains fly | J |
| Folk meet and greet with a gay Ha ha | C |
| Noureddin the son of the Shah | C |
