Singers were referred to by such terms as mutrib, khananda, guyanda, mughanni, and for instumentalists – navazanda, sazanda, sazzan and others.
Singers who declaimed poetic and prosaic texts were quite popular, and known as kawwal, ghazalkhan or qissakhan. There were also special terms for those who played particular instruments.

Military instrument players were known as tablbaz, naqqarachi and other names.
