The book contains five diverse chapters, including a selection of lyrics for songs for parties, weddings, and all social occasions, detailing which songs are sung for each occasion and every part of the celebration.

This book is considered a social code of conduct, written with rhyming words and a specific rhythm that expresses the artistic values of the people. It chronicles for posterity that their ancestors—despite scarce resources, limited means, and lack of education—possessed a high degree of sophisticated folk culture and art, which is the reservoir of living nations that embodies their civilization.

The author was keen to compose this humble manuscript, striving to collect and preserve everything possible for future generations and for all those interested in Jordanian heritage and popular folklore.

A chapter is dedicated to the stories behind the songs, which provided the emotional context and the occasion that prompted great poets, past and present, to compose their poems and poetry collections, as those events and occasions fueled their poetic inspiration. Similarly, folk songs have stories and occasions that moved the singer and stirred their feelings to chant them.
