In persian we call the number 100 as Sad. Do these 2 words have any connection?

Yes, Farsi or Persian gave a lot of words to India. Apart from that, a great deal of cultural, philosophical and musical ideas in India came from Persia.
Thank god for that.

duma dum mast kalandar = ?

 

[Ahmad]

duma dum mast kalandar = ?

I think it is a sufi song or somehting?

 

[jin]

duma dum mast kalandar = ?

I think duma dam is used for rhythm and has no specific meaning, n mast Qalandar referred to a kind of sufi or mast pir.
