"Tarana or Taranah (Urdu: \u062A\u0631\u0627\u0646\u06C1\u200E, Hindi: \u0924\u0930\u093E\u0928\u093E) is a type of composition in Hindustani classical vocal music in which certain words and syllables (e.g. \"odani\", \"todani\", \"tadeem\" and \"yalali\") based on Persian and Arabic phonemes are rendered at a medium (madhya) or fast (drut) pace (laya). It was invented by Amir Khusro (1253-1325 CE), and is similar to the Qalbana form of Sufi poetry."@en .
