Is it of Ottoman/Turkish or Arabic origin?

I am checking the "Turkish Real Book," but I think the word order (Arabic song form - maqam, instead of Turkish makam - song form) suggests Arabic, not Turkish origin, though many pieces are well known in both cultures.

Over and out,

Do you have a recording of the piece you are thinking of?

Tareq Al Jundi plays a Sama'i Kurd Ushayran by Amer Madi here:

Maybe this is the one?
