Bashraf Saba (Reftar Kalfa) (Third piece)
This piece seems related to the first piece ' Perisan'.
Many rhythmic similarities here to the Ali Ufuqi (Ufki) repertoire (related to the santur).
The piece may be from Ali Ufuqi, I will have a look through the Saba section.

I altered the time signature to 8/8 as the rhythms were played quicker in the 1600- 1750 period. (When Reftar Kalfa is supposed to have lived).

All the duyak pieces in the Cantemir notations are in 8/8.
Owen Wright and Walter Feldman have covered the topic of tempo retardation in depth.
I changed the notes in the Hijaz modulation (khana 4), to the tuning used in the 1600's/Ali Ufuqi/Cantemir repertoire.
There are a couple of minor mistakes I fixed as well as removing some pointless rests (to fit with the Cantemir and Ali Ufuqi material also).
