This beautiful song comes from the Kurdish Qadiri zawiyas (Sufi centres) of Western Iran. It is a traditional devotional piece expressing love of the Prophet and longing to visit Medina. The original words are in Kurdish but additional verses in Persian, Turkish and Arabic have been added. The traditional khānghāh daf rhythm of ‘Hayy Allah, Hayy Allah” is incorporated into this piece with a time signature of 10/8.
