He was born in Tehran to Abul Qasim Khan Kamal ol-Saltaneh, son of Mohammad Jafar Khan Sadr ol-Hekma, son of Mahmud Khan Kashi Malak ol-Shoara Sadr ol-Shoara Saba ol-Shoara, son of Mohammad Hossain Khan Malak ol-Shoara. He studied several Iranian and non-Iranic musical instruments and became an Ostad in Radif, but he selected violin and setar as his specific instruments. He was a student of Mirza Abdollah as well as Darvish Khan.[1]

Saba is one of Iran's most influential traditional and instrumental Persian music figures.[1][2] His first radio recording was in 1927 when he played violin alongside Iran's famous singer Ruhangis.[3]
