Awang Sulong Merah Muda. 
Bahawa ada-lah Raja Si Hélang Laut béristérikan tuan 
putéri Si Hélang Bakau diam di-négéri Kuala Sungai Batu. 
Maka ini-lah raja Mélayu yang amat kaya: 
Kérbau bunting térayap di-padang ; 
Itek angsa tenang kuala; 
Mérpati lindongan |langit |; 
Liang- kiang tujoh sa-jajar; 
Taman déngan sa-kérat kota; 
Emas perak pénoh di-rumah 
Salah sédikit tidak bérputéra. 
Maka ka-pada suatu hari bérkata-lah tuanku raja Si He- 
lang Laut ka-pada istéri-nya tuan putéri Si Hélang Bakau, 
“Wahai adinda, bétapa-kah hal kita ini? Adinda tiada bérpu- 
téra; pada pikiran kakanda térlébeh lagi kita bérniat dan 
béernadzar ka-pada tuhan séru alam sakalan mudah-mudahan 
di-kurniakan Allah subhana wataala kita méndapat putéra.” 
Maka pada pétang jumaat pérgi-lah ia mandi dan bérlimau; 
pulang lalu di-ambil kéményan puteh bérat sa-kati, 
Di-ambil sa-tahil tinggal sa-kati juga. 
“Hai ya Allah, ya tuhan-ku, ya saidi ya maulai Allah 
taala, tuhan yang sa-bénar-nya jikalau sah aku orang bérsaka 
yang bérkubur di-tanah Mékah, minta-lah hamba bérputéra; 
dapat sa-orang jadi-lah.”
