Sufi music is a composition of any piece of Sufi poetry. The poetry is the main criterion. Sufi poetry can be characterised by lyrics that show devotion and love to God, the Prophet, Ali and other saints, or the Beloved. Ghazal and Qawwali are both parts of the Sufi culture.
Qawwali is a form of Sufi music that was popularised by Amir Khusro, a disciple of the famous saint Nizamuddin Aulia. The main difference between the ghazal and qawwali is that ghazal can refer to both the poetry and the way it is sung or rendered, but qawwali refers only to a way of rendering Sufi verses. Ghazal is typically sung with just one lead singer, a harmonium, a tabla and sometimes another accompanying instrument or two, whereas the qawwali has one or two lead singers, a whole chorus, clapping to enhance the the tabla and dholak. The choice of verses for a ghazal performance is usually ghazal poems that focus on love for the Beloved and the pain of separation while in qawwali, only one or two songs in the mehfil of one qawwal may have such themes.
