A '''''dhun''''' ([[Hindi]]: {{lang|hi|[[wikt:धुन|धुन]]}}; literally "tune") is a light instrumental piece in [[Hindustani classical music]]. Although it may be played in a [[raga]], or mode (often light ragas such as [[Khamaj]]), it is more freely interpreted and may incorporate foreign notes ([[vivadi]]).

A ''dhun'' may be based on a folk tune or a religious, ''[[bhajan]]''-type song, or even a [[filmi]] song.
