Start communicating
The_Urdu_Club
Welcome to the Real Urdu Club! This Club has been created for those who are interested in enhancing their Urdu skills in a fun and supportive environment. The idea is to enhance our ability by communicating mostly in Urdu and learning and practicing from others in the group. This is also a place for those who think they are romantic and want to show off their romantic side in the form of shairi!
This Club is not named after any one individual nor is it for a specific country! Its for our language that we all share and want to preserve!
Separately, inshallah hum loag har maheenay milnay ki koshish karien gay (we intend to meet on a monthly basis) and discuss a variety of topics chosen by the members of the group.
Each month we plan to select a different cuisine in New York Area for our meeting, based on suggestions from those attending. So come on everyone, let's join hands in retaining our much valued cultural heritage!
:)

has added a new journalI love my language and i learnt it pretty well after getting some know how of persian and arabic.... anyways i wrote several poems..one of them is
har goorkun hai qaum ka memaar dekhnaa
har bulhawas ka qurb e dar e yaar dekhnaa
khaibar shikan kharay hain subuksaar dekhnaa
es askari nizaam ki diwaar dekhnaa
khanjar badast lashkar o member ke robroo
matam shiaar hain majma e ansaar dekhnaa
shayad ho tumko naseeb ae kashtakaan e shab
rooey ufq pe subh ke asaar dekhnaa....

has added a new journalThe complete poem taken from www.alif-india.com is
Ziehal-e miskeenn makun taghaful, duraye naina banaye batiyan;
ki taab-e hijran nadaram ay jaan, na leho kaahe lagaye chhatiyan.
Shaban-e hijran daraz chun zulf wa roz-e waslat cho umr kotah;
Sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun to kaise kaatun andheri ratiyan.
Yakayak az dil do chashm-e jadoo basad farebam baburd taskin;
Kise pari hai jo jaa sunaave piyare pi ko hamaari batiyan.
Cho shama sozan cho zarra hairan hamesha giryan be ishq aan meh;
Na neend naina na ang chaina na aap aaven na bhejen patiyan.
Bahaqq-e roz-e wisal-e dilbar ki daad mara ghareeb Khusrau;
Sapet man ke waraaye raakhun jo jaaye paaon piya ke khatiyan.
And the English translation is:
Do not overlook my misery by blandishing your eyes,
and weaving tales; My patience has over-brimmed,
O sweetheart, why do you not take me to your bosom.
Long like curls in the night of separation,
short like life on the day of our union;
My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before.
Suddenly, using a thousand tricks, the enchanting eyes robbed me
of my tranquil mind;
Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling?
Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle,
I roam about in the fire of love;
Sleepless eyes, restless body,
neither comes she, nor any message.
In honour of the day I meet my beloved
who has lured me so long, O Khusrau;
I shall keep my heart suppressed,
if ever I get a chance to get to her trick.

i don't understand farsi that well, but the english tranlation does'nt do justice to its real meaning...Serene4ever
True - Amir Khusrao's poetry is the root of urdu sufi poetry - or so I am told.

This is a faarsi poem, not urdu
