The animal is called Ghizaal, from which the English word gazelles stems, or Kastori haran (where haran refers to deer) in Urdu. Etymologically, the word literally refers to "the mortal cry of a gazelle".

With these multiple influences, a distinctive Pakistani sound have been formed. The music of Pakistan includes diverse elements ranging from music from various parts of South Asia as well as Central Asian, Persian, Turkish, Arabic and modern day Western popular music influences.
