Persian grace on an Indic frame

Urdu shares its grammar with Hindi and its literary vocabulary with Persian and Arabic, and its names lean firmly to the Persian register — Umeed (hope), Nasrin (wild rose), Gulnaz (rose-adorned). The poetic tradition of the ghazal keeps that vocabulary alive in ordinary speech, so names carry a literary weight that their Hindi cognates often do not. Written in a flowing Perso-Arabic script.
