Inherited from the ancient Western regions, Shule music, Khanan music, Qiuci music, Gaochang music, Yizhou music and Persian music of Western Asia, Uygur music combines many fine traditions. One of its distinctive characteristics is the diversity of music and Musical Instruments. During the long historical changes, Uygur music has drawn on the strengths of Musical Instruments from all over the Western regions and developed dozens of kinds of wind, string, strumming and percussion instruments.

In the song, it starts with Dutal, with the strings moving fast and smoothly between the sonorous strumps, and then, accompanied by the soft and low tapping of Dabs and the strumps of Linbur and Jevafu, the soft male voice sings passionately about the night he parted from his lover, in a melodious, simple and lyrical mode. And with the accumulation and progression of emotions more and more intense, as if the whirling dance speed is more and more rapid, accompanied by the drop of the accent, the emotion is as thin as the speeding string sound, and Sattar's string is thin in the dark to fit his singing, like the iron on his heart, the embroidered thread of the handkerchief left by the lover.
