Pashto naats are often sung solo, but occasionally performed as duets. Very little research has been done on Pashto naat music. Academics have concentrated almost exclusively on the Urdu ghazal. This is because Urdu naats are the majority of available naat recordings for purchase or download. Naats in other languages are harder to find, but scholars have managed to collect a few Pashto recordings from around the world, mainly from Europe and North America, usually through non-profit organizations who distribute Islamic media online. The Pashto naat repertoire is largely unknown. Most of the available recordings online are small collections of a few songs. There is only one known CD specifically devoted to Pashto naats, an early 1996 release from Islamic Publications Ltd., a Pakistani company that specializes in religious music publishing. The CD contains 24 tracks from 9 different singers, but it does not have liner notes or cover art. None of the singers or poets are identified by name, and there is no information regarding the poet except to say that "all naats have been composed by Hazrat Allama Syed Ahmad Shah. He is a great Naat Ghazal Singer", though he is not named as poet on the CD. The title of the collection, "Naat Tareekh", translates as "Songs of History" and it also contains some Hindi and Urdu naats. None of the available recordings are part of long-running series that have been recorded over multiple decades. There are some regional singers who have recorded dozens of songs, often from more then one period of their careers, but no major recording firms have focused on documenting Pashto naats as a genre in their own right, as they do with Punjabi and Lucknowi ghazals. The Pashto naat has not been studied academically to the same degree as Urdu or Punjabi naats, though it is known that they are performed more or less in the same style. There are no known references to Pashto naats in Western literature on Sufi music, though some of the poems seem to draw on Sufi themes. There is also no evidence of performance practice among Pashto-speaking Sufis outside of Pakistan; there are no records of what type of instrumentation or accompaniment is used, how the poetry is meant to be sung (in any genre), etc.A few books have mentioned Pashtun poetic styles. Many of these are about Pashtun poetry in general, not specifically about naats. Some are works by Pakistani scholars who have collected poetry by other Pashtuns. The following are an incomplete list of books that mention Pashto poetic styles: Directed at the reader's mother tongue, the book covers a variety of topics, including music and literary criticism. It contains a selection of 25 naats, with extensive information about each one. It uses the original words for all lyrics but transliterates them into English for ease of reading. This book makes over 200 selections from the vast repertoire available on CD and video. 70cfa1e7782079
