'Ada', 'Tehzeeb', and refined speech-all of these terms and more can be applied to Urdu.A language capable of expressing love, hate, and indifference in equal measure.
And the 'Shayari', that endless ocean of wonderful, meaningful poems, nazms and ghazals,that express so much. Which can be read at any time of the day, and mean different things to different people at different times.And re-read all over again.....
Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language with about 104 million speakers today, including those who speak it as a second language. It is the national language of Pakistan and is closely related to 'Hindi', though a lot of Urdu vocabulary comes from Persian and Arabic, as well.
Let us promise ourselves and ensure that this language continues to grow from strength to strength,and that the 'shayari', 'tehzeeeb' and ada is retained by the next, as well as the generations to come.
