Help Me Learn Some Urdu...

To speak proper lakhnavi urdu:
1. Dye your beard(not black, but sort of orangy-redish colour)
2. Chew a pan, let the red juice drip from corner of your mouth

3. And repeat with me this sentence(ignore the sprinkle of red juice on the face of guy sitting opposite to you).
La hole billa kuwait( translate: There is a hole in kuwait)


That is the Worst Stereotype attempt I have ever seen.

Obviously, you have been keeping company with some Bazaari type people.

I am a native speaker of Urdu language and nobody in my family chews PAAN.

You should get out of your GHETTO mentality and meet some sophisticated Urdu Speakers.
 
Sir,

I'll add:

4. Prefix every second sentence with "Amma Yaar" - a true Lacknavi hallmark.

Sometimes Urdu words have hilarious interpretations, for instance :

Jab paani maangaa to pesh-aab kar diya, jab khaana maangaa to dasten paros daali.

pesh-aab can mean both urine and to offer water while dasten paros daali can mean both to serve **** and to serve by hands.

My favourite urdu anectode : Once Mirza Ghalib the greatest Urdu poet ever ( yes only in pakistan they may rate Iqbal higher than Ghalib ) is supposed to have gone to his beloved's mazaar and urinated on it.When horrified bystanders asked him why he committed this indiscretion, he replied:

Hum unke ishq mein is qadar doob gaye Ghalib
Ke aansoo nikal rahe hain ab rastaa badal badal ke.

Apologies for the toilet humour!

How about Apologizing for Toilet mentality.

Only in India, Arrogant and Condescending Hindu Baniyas consider themselves higher than rest of their compatriots.

How Sad ?
 
Improvement.

Tashnagi ?

Touhmut

Takhliya ?

Tadaubur ?

Tahzleek ?

Paishraft is more like development, in my opinion.

Touhmat - false accusation (touhmat he khud mukhtari ki)

Tadbeer - Planning

I don't know the rest. Never really studied formal Urdu in my life, & my Urdu is through my own effort, listening to family elders or watching political shows.


Gulistan-e-Jauhar?

Gulshan-e-Iqbal?

Gul-posh?

Gul-cheen?

Aiwan-e-Sadr (easy one)?

Shahrah-e-Dastoor (another easy one)?

Kisi ney such kaha....

Adab ko ghass samajh key sabi gadhey charney lagey,
Andaz-e-biyan atta nahin, aur sher-o-shayree karney lagey.

Sir,

Do have go at translating the first line of this song from the film Ghulami written by Sampooran Singh Gulzar:

Zihaal-e-Miskeen maqun ba-ranjish bahaal-e-hijra bechara dil hai
Sunaayee deti hai jiski dhadkan humara dil ya tumhara dil hai

Cheers!
 
@Pakistanisage

Sir,

Can't understand why are you getting as pricky and worked up as a woman in periods. Cool off I say.

I believed people might have enjoyed my post and didn't i excuse myself beforehand for the toilet humour.

And, i am a ( Hindu ) Gujjar not a Baniya. I believe Gujjars have quite a fearsome reputation in Pakistan since so many of your films have titles like Gujjar Badshah, Gujjar ka Vair, Gujjar Badmaash, Wehshi Gujjar...

Cheers!

That was my poor attempt at some humour, I am sorry you did not find it funny. Can I hide behind the fact that I specifically mentioned Lakhnavi urdu speaker?
