Mawwal "Kull illy habb itnasaf"

This Mawwal draws on elements of all three previous versions of Rast in its opening phrases, starting with an emphasis on the 5th, moving up to the octave and the Rast jins above the octave, and then transitioning via the Secondary Saba Jins, to an area that is so unusual that it cannot be considered a part of Maqam Rast--the use of Ajam on the same tonic (for a longer discussion and analysis of this mawwal, see the "Unique Pathways" page).
