You cannot directly.


You can only sync songs to an iPad or iPhone from a computer, unless you subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match and uploaded your music to the Cloud, it will then sync to all devices logged in to the same Apple ID.


See here: link-> Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support

and here: link-> Use iCloud Music Library on PC - Apple Support

and here: link-> Subscribe to iTunes Match - Apple Support


If the music only exists in the iPhone now, you will need to extract it from the iPhone, and add it to an iTunes Library on a computer ands then sync it to the iPad. See here: link-> Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - Apple Community
