"Seydefa's Mother Waketh Her" is a Bosnian sevdalinka, believed to have originated in Sarajevo centuries ago while the Bosnia was a part of the Ottoman Empire. The exact author remains unknown.
Over the centuries, the song spread amongst the Bosniak populations in Podgorica and the Sandžak regions of Montenegro and Serbia.

- Sejdefu majka buđaše
- ustani kćeri moja, Sejdefo
- Zar misliš majko
- da ja spim
- ja ti se mlada s dušom dijelim
- zovi mi majko komšije
- i prvo moje gledanje
- što smo se majko gledali
- u šajku lađu na more
