Range: A♭, B, C, D♭, E.

Time signatures in the metric sections: 10/8.

Tuning: Haft Dastan or Barz (C, C, G)

The refrain (sarband) of this maqam (a melodic-modal piece of the tanbur repertoire) is its first couplet, and it is performed collectively:

Haghan haghan ay haghan

Mawlam haghan sham haghan

Know that our lord and master is Truth itself.

The kalam (the sacred verse of the Yarsan, or Ahl-e Haqq) of this maqam, too, comes from the daftar (verse collection) of Rostam Babajani, who was mentioned earlier.
