About the Book

Urdu Shaayari is the most popular genre of Urdu writing and poetry. It is often the first exposure to the Urdu language for most of us - thanks to popular Hindi film songs, ghazals, and classic poetry that have enthralled generations across South Asia.

One can read Shaayari in Urdu script, English, or Hindi transliteration. Many Urdu words used in Shaayari are familiar to North Indians for whom Urdu is not the first language. However, one still comes across unfamiliar Urdu poetic words and compound expressions in almost every sher, the meanings of which are often not known. These unfamiliar words can rob the entire sher of its true beauty and meaning.

Key Highlights of The Urdu Dictionary of Shaayari - In English

  • A comprehensive Urdu-to-English dictionary dedicated exclusively to Urdu poetry and ghazals.
  • Includes 3300+ Urdu words and 350+ compound-words drawn from the most popular shers of legendary Urdu poets and Shaayars.
  • Each Urdu word and compound-word is transliterated in English and Hindi for easy pronunciation and understanding.
  • Ideal for students, readers, translators, and poetry lovers who want to explore the rich meanings behind ghazals and nazms.
  • Covers authentic Urdu vocabulary found in the works of classic and contemporary Shaayars.
  • Perfect companion for anyone learning Urdu through poetry, improving vocabulary, or studying Hindi-Urdu literature.

The real challenge in understanding Urdu Shaayari lies in decoding the compound-words, as their true meanings often differ from the sense derived by simply combining the individual word meanings. Unfortunately, most dictionaries do not cover these compound forms.

Hence, I compiled The Urdu Dictionary of Shaayari - In English, a one-of-its-kind reference guide designed to help readers rediscover the essence and emotion behind every sher.

The moment you encounter an unfamiliar word or expression, simply open this book and return to the poem - now richer with meaning and resonance. The dictionary's layout is alphabetical, reader-friendly, and easy to navigate, making it a must-have for every Urdu poetry enthusiast.
