A classic late Umm Kulthum song very popular with the dancers (though I've cut out the first instrumental intro here!), but in fact a very rich Tarab composition as well. Later verses explore maqamat beyond Bayati, but the first two presented here give a fairly full picture of that maqam. The instrumental intro to the second verse (starting #16) has to be one of Baligh's best melodies, although it's stiff competition with all of the other amazing tunes he's written.
See the following analyses: Jins Bayati, Jins Nahawand, Jins Ajam, Jins Rast, Jins Hijaz, Jins Rast Baggage, Bayati Pathways: Nahawand & Ajam, Bayati Pathways: Rast, Bayati Pathways: Hijaz
(The complete recording contains an instrumental intro - starting in Maqam Kurd - not included in this analysis, and the first and second verses are repeated in the complete recording, but not in the analysis. Later verses in the recording, which depart from the area of Maqam Bayati, are not included in the analysis.)
