urdu vocabulary

Urdu is a beautiful language. Growing up, we’ve all had a hard time learning Urdu, especially because of how poetic and complex it appears at first glance. But that is because it has evolved so much and we have made it as simpler as possible according to our needs.

Some even say that Urdu as a language has been completely destroyed because we have forgotten the essence of our ancestors. But if you look at it from a broader perspective, the primary function of a language is ‘communication’.

Considering the diversity of ethnic groups and languages we have here, we all need a form of communication that is easy to pick up, easy to understand and easy to speak.

So, we have not destroyed a language but have rather built a steady form of communication that a person high up in the mountains, or as low as near the sea can use and benefit from.

Keeping that in mind, we are here to freshen up your memory with some beautiful words in Urdu. You can memorize them to improve your vocabulary or sit down and write up touching poetry, it’s all up to you. There are no rules here.

Tere bicharne ka saanha bhi kamaal guzra.

Be khatar kood pada aatish-e-namrood mein ishq

Zakhm dil k kisi chattaan mein the.
