Reading the Arabic you paste
- This pair
- Urdu borrowed many words from Arabic — religious, legal and formal terms often look close — but grammar and word order are different, so the sentence is rebuilt.
- Arabic
- Arabic is written right to left, and Gulf notices often write numbers in Arabic-Indic digits (٠١٢٣٤) — check that every date and amount came across correctly.
- Urdu script
- Nastaliq (Perso-Arabic script), written right to left — copy it into an app that supports right-to-left text.
- Numbers
- Urdu print uses both Eastern Arabic-style digits (۱, ۲, ۳) and 0–9, and phones mostly 0–9.
- Names
- In Urdu text, names come from Arabic and Persian and have several English spellings (Mohammed / Muhammad).
What you get in Urdu
- Saying "you"
- Urdu has aap (respectful), tum (familiar) and tu (very close); Arabic's "you" changes for a man, a woman or a group, not for politeness, so read the tone of the Urdu once before you reply.
- Sentence order
- Arabic often starts with the verb and Urdu puts the verb at the end, so sentences are rebuilt, not swapped word for word.
- Who reads it
- Urdu is spoken in Pakistan and across India, especially Uttar Pradesh, Hyderabad and Bihar.
Example

أوراق تجديد التأشيرة جاهزة. تعال إلى المكتب يوم الخميس مع جواز السفر.

وِزا کی تجدید کے کاغذات تیار ہیں۔ جمعرات کو پاسپورٹ کے ساتھ آفس آ جائیں۔

Questions
Is the Arabic to Urdu translator free?
Yes — up to 5,000 characters, 5 times a day, no sign-up.
Are names, dates and amounts kept?
The translator keeps names and figures as they are, but machine translation can slip — check dates and amounts against the original before you send.
Will the Urdu sound polite?
Arabic's "you" changes for a man, a woman or a group, not for politeness, so the translator picks the Urdu form from the wording — read it once before you reply to an employer or an officer.
Can I paste Arabic mixed with English words?
Yes. Mixed text is translated as a whole; everyday English words that Urdu readers also use can stay as they are.
