Kharja
The kharja (in Arabic , meaning "final"), also known as jarcha in Spanish, is the final refrain of a series of a muwashshah, a lyric genre of Al-Andalus (the Islamic Iberian Peninsula) written in Arabic or Hebrew, commonly with five stanzas, each consisting of four to six lines. The final two lines of each stanza act as a refrain which is known as a kharja.
