Lafz - Urdu Words and their meanings Lafz was an opt-in mailing list that will help you build your Urdu vocabulary, one word at a time. Each post used to contain a word from Urdu with its meaning(s), its gender and the language it is borrowed from. Usually associated words like compound words, adjectives, etc. based on the word of the day were also included in the post. Each post was also accompanied by a sher (couplet) which highlighted the use of the word in Urdu poetry. Sometimes, couplets (ashaar) for the associated word(s) were also included, depending on availability. The mailing list is no longer active but you are welcome to browse through the archives.
