'''Baas-o-Beyt''' ([[Sistani language|Sistanian]]: {{nastaliq|بئث و بئت}}) is a special kind of rhyming game common among [[Sistani people|Sistanian people]] and is generally considered as a genre of [[Sistani language|Sistanian]] poetry (called ''Seytak'') played by composing verses of Sistanian poems, along with some Sistanian dance and music. It is very similar to [[Bait bazi]], [[Antakshari]] and [[Crambo]] as well.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://anthropology.ir/node/11282 |title= 11282 |access-date=2014-01-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029235839/http://anthropology.ir/node/11282 |archive-date=2013-10-29 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.zaraya.ir/post-224.aspx |title=زارایا؛ سرای فرهنگ و هنر سیستان - زنان و کودکان سیستانی |access-date=2014-01-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140108235655/http://www.zaraya.ir/post-224.aspx |archive-date=2014-01-08 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
== Etymology ==
The term Baas-o-Beyt drives from [[Arabic]] ''Bahs'' and ''Beyt'' meaning ''debate'' and ''two line poetry'', respectively.
==Example==
The first one starts the Baas-o-Beyt like this:
:Rasido var sare rude Adimi ({{nastaliq|رسیدو ور سر رود ادیمی}})
:Salāmo ale'ko e' yāre ghadimi! ({{nastaliq|سلام و علیکو ائ یار قدیمی}})
:Bgofto dokhtarak bose' va me de ({{nastaliq|بگفتو دخترک یگ بوسئ وه مه ده}})
:maga kuri ke bābāyom nadidi? ({{nastaliq|مگه کوری که بابایوم ندیدی؟}})
:(I just got to the river Adimi,
:Salutation to you, my old friend!
:I said to her: Just give me a kiss, girl.
:{and she answered} Can't you see my father {right around us}, you blind man?)
The next one answers like this:
:Byāya bogzara mesle ame'sha ({{nastaliq|بیایه بگذره مثل أمئشه}})
:Aga yag bose me'dādi che me'sha? ({{nastaliq|اگه یگ بوسئ مئ دادی چه مئ شه؟}})
:Aga yag bose me'dādi va āshegh ({{nastaliq|اگه یگ بوسئ مئ دادی وه عاشق}})
:Va fardāye qiāmat kam name'sha. ({{nastaliq|وه فردای قیامت کم نمئ شه}})
:({Your father} is going to pass by us, like all the {other} times.
:Why don't you give me a kiss?
:Give a kiss to your lover
:Do not be scared of anything.)
