“zaranjee” is derived from the combination of “Zaar” which in Farsi means strong crying and “Ranj” means suffering. The pain that makes a person scream and cry. In the music of North Khorasan of Iran, “Zaranjee” is a part of the “Gerayeli Maqam“, as if the instrument (Dotar) is wailing and shouting. It evokes a moment when a girl sits on the dead body of her beloved and cries and screams.
