Be Tu Gulgasht Chamanبه تو گلگشت چمن
Gulbadaan represents an earlier recording session that was compiled and issued as the ninth volume in the series, making it a retrospective entry in the catalog sequence. The material captures Zahir at the very start of his professional career, before the sophisticated orchestration of the mid-1970s, and reveals the folk and traditional Afghan musical influences that he later sublimated into his signature fusion style. Collectors prize it as a raw, formative document.

At Dawn the Nightingale Said — the nightingale (bulbul) as the poet's alter ego, the bird that sings of roses and grief. Dawn as the liminal hour when the nightingale's message can be heard.
