Nihavend Şarkı, "Eve Dönüş" Arabic/Western "Concert" Pitch Score

I am posting a score for Nihavend Şarkı, "Eve Dönüş." The notation is in Arabic/Western "concert" pitch in C (Do) Nahawand.

Here is Burhan Öçal's recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y59aUkUQixo

I am not 100% sure that "Eve Dönüş." is the correct name for this piece, because I found only a couple references to the piece on the internet and only 2 recordings on YouTube. Typically, you can easily find multiple recordings and notları (scores) of any signficant Turkish classical or folk song. And this is a lovely song...

Many thanks to my friend Yossi Chay for the transcription!

Peace out,
Udi John

Here is another version of the same melody, here called "Fatma," from Egyptian composer Omar Khairat:
