no. I tried learning but, javed did not know what I was saying..

so I quit!

You will ask him to learn Urdu. If you talk to him in Punjabi then he must knows what you are saying.

both of you can practice over here.....give us an english sentence and we will translate it for you.....

Great! Will you translate Psofts poems a few posts ago?

How 'bout I try my hand at writing some Urdu too and you could correct it?? And please be sure to make it feminine... Ali always forgets so I talk like a guy.

Me bohut, bohut cushie hu. Yasko bihar, mero lover me phone garne thio.

(ENGLISH - I am very very happy. This morning, my lover phoned me.)

Yep - it's bad I know! I'm TRYING!

Fasla tu hai magar koi fasla nahi (Urdu)

(there is distance between us but in reality it is not )

Muj say tum Juda sahi dil say tu Juda nahi (Urdu)

(You are far away from me but not from heart)

Yipee! I like this! I need to figure out each word, so...

is the litteral translation as follows????

Fasla tu hai magar koi fasla nahi (Urdu)

(there is distance between us but in reality it is not )

Distant you are, but any distance is not

Muj say tum Juda sahi dil say tu Juda nahi (Urdu)

(You are far away from me but not from heart)

Of me you separate are, my heart you separate are not

Or something close?

Thanks Psoft! I LOVE this poem!

Here is the urdu for this:

main bohat khush hoon. Aaj suba meray shohar nay mujhay phone kiya tha

[hafiz 1]

sar katee ja eyay ruKh se naqaab aahistaa aahistaa

nikal ta aa rahaa hai aaftaab aahistaa aahistaa

sar katee ja eyay ruKh se naqaab aahistaa aahistaa

nikal ta aa rahaa hai aaftaab aahistaa aahistaa

Hafiz, help us out - give us the English too Please!

All I got out of that was "slowly, slowly"

sar katee ja eyay ruKh se naqaab aahistaa aahistaa

nikal ta aa rahaa hai aaftaab aahistaa aahistaa

In order to understand this poetry it is not a good idea to translate whole shair word by word

sar katee ja eyay ruKh se naqaab aahistaa aahistaa

Head veil (burqa) is coming down from the face of the girl

nikal ta aa rahaa hai aaftaab aahistaa aahistaa

Sun (face of the girl) is coming out (from Dark Burqa) slowly slowly

I understand, but to learn to speak Urdu, it helps to know each word... then I can make my own poetry!

Thanks for the translation

Very weird your husband seems to me very unromantic … he should help u to understand his language…

Tell u the truth Urdu is very romantic language. There are very few languages in the world (e.g Arabic, Persian) where you find the best combinations of words with real scenario.

Urdu

Raat yunh dil mein teri khoee hui yaad aayee

Jaise veeraaney mein chupkey sey bahaar aa jaye

Jaisey sehra on mein howley se chaley baadey naseem

Jaisey beemaar ko bey wajhey Qaraar aa jaaye

English Translation

Last night, your lost memories crept into my heart

as spring arrives secretly into a barren garden

as a cool morning breeze blows slowly in a desert

as a sick person feels well, for no reason.

SHUT UP! Dont talk about my husband. He is extremely romantic. he just cant

understand how I say the words with my accent.

Wow, how beautiful! Now I just have to practise how I say it and figure out each word...

Thanks so much Psoft!!!!!!! I am really excited about this. My Udru tapes are boring me.

Anyone here speak Tibetan or Balti?

There are few families in Houston from Batistan whom I know personally but I don't think you will find anyone on VJ.
