‘Difficult urdu words with english meaning’is a page dedicated to difficult words. Such words need explanations; therefore, we have added a list of all those words that we found difficult especially while translating the poetry of Allama Muhammad Iqbal. But these difficult words and their English translations are not limited to mere Iqbal’s poetry. These do include other poets’ poetry too. This page is a continuous effort on our part because we shall keep adding the meanings and English translations of newer words that we do find during our readings.
Urdu language, as we know, is an amalgamation of several languages like English, German, French and Russian. But the history of Urdu is not very old. So it becomes a matter of difficulty to find relevant words from other languages to explain certain words in Urdu.
