This is an original arrangement based on the passage of the death of Syavosh in the Shahnameh, the Iranian national epic poem whose stories are central to Iranian mythology. In Iranian mythology, Syavosh of Iran flees his land and finds refuge in the neighbouring, adversary land of Turan, where he is welcomed by King Afrasyiab, who marries him to his daughter, Farangis. However, after the passing of time, King Afrasyiab of Turan grows wary of Syavosh, and ends up murdering him. Grief-stricken, Farangis begins an uprising. She and all the women of her retinue cut their hair, and the people of the land walk behind Farangis, her hair now cut, demanding justice against the tyrant of the land. This scene from Iranian mythology is central to Iranian culture's collective memory, and a woman's cutting of her hair in defiance of tyranny remains a symbolic gesture to this day.

The lyrics are in Early Modern Persian and are directly extracted from the Shahnameh epic poem written by Ferdowsi. The instrumentation consists of a tanbour, santour, kamancheh, ney, and daf drums."
