This ritual has a long history and consists of music, dance, and the recitation of the poems of Khayyam Neyshaburi, accompanied by the sounds of instruments such as the "Ney Jofti" (An authentic Iranian musical instrument) and the "flute". On the one hand, Khayyam's Rubaiyat contains themes such as the impermanence of life and the invisibility of human destiny, disregard and forgetting past suffering, living in the present and ignoring the difficulties of life and considering it simple; On the other hand, the Rubaiyat of this renowned poet has found great adaptability and compatibility with the principles and way of life of the people who have been influenced by Khayyam's beliefs and philosophy.
