A takhallus (Urdu: تخلّص, Persian: تخلّص, Hindi: तख़ल्लुस), is a pen-name. Pen names were widely adopted by Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi and Persian poets.[1]
Takhallus is an Arabic word which means, literally, "to get liberated" or "become secure;" [2][3] the word has been borrowed in Hindi-Urdu and Punjabi to mean "pen name".[4]
The takhallus is often included in the maqta, last sher (couplet), of the ghazal.[5][6]
