' (), sometimes rendered as and first published as The Mourning Song of the Noble Wife of the Hasan Aga''''', is a South Slavic folk ballad, created during the period of 1646–49, in the region of Imotski, which at the time was a part of the Bosnia Eyalet of the Ottoman Empire. The author of the poem, whose premise takes place in a Bosnian Muslim cultural context, is unknown.
==Publication history== The ballad was transmitted for years in oral form until it was written and published in 1774 by Italian traveler and ethnographer Alberto Fortis in his book ('Journey to Dalmatia') after his travel through Dalmatia in 1770. During his travels, he discovered what he called a "Morlach ballad", the Morlachs being a people from the region. Fortis's book was criticised by Croatian writer Ivan Lovrić, who accused Fortis of many factual errors in his response, ''Notes on 'Travels in Dalmatia' of Abbe Alberto Fortis'', which he then attempted to rectify.
