 Who is this book meant for? This dictionary is meant for lovers of Urdu Shaayari who may or may not have had any formal exposure to Urdu. This book enables them to enjoy the treasures of Urdu Shaayari without being familiar with or proficient in the Urdu script and/or vocabulary. Why is this book a boon for lovers of Urdu Shaayari? Most Indians are exposed to Urdu words since they form the mainstay of conversational day-to-day Hindi in India. However, an odd unfamiliar word in a sher robs the entire sher of its meaning and its magic. Not knowing the Urdu script adds another dimension to the problem. This handy guide is focused on making such unfamiliar Urdu words understood by the reader. The Urdu words are written in English and Hindi (for correct pronunciation of the Urdu word) and the word meanings are in English. In short, this book is designed to increase manifold the delight which comes from enjoying the best-known shers of South Asia.
