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]

History
While ghazal originated in Arabia evolving from Qasida, some of the common features of contemporary ghazal, such as including the takhallus in the maqta, the concept of matla, etc., did not exist in Arabic ghazal. It was Persian ghazal which added these features.[5]
