Mas here means to be touched by the devil, what you need is lams not mas.


Sama3a here means stethoscope or headphones not hearing



nathar here isn't what Arabs use for sight rather absar, like in the noble Quran As'sama3, wal'absar, wal'afeda..

​

the word مس can be used here in our urdu novels. i have read it in many literature books of urdu. and it also means to be touched (by sm1)
and the meaning of نظر can be considered in arabic as sight. as well as it is meant in urdu.

[Insaanah]

Here's an interesting one:

Arabic جُرْأَةٌ, جَرَاءَةٌ, ََجَرُؤَ عَلَى

Urdu جُرْأَتْ

Courage, boldness, guts, daring, particularly in the context of: to have the courage to, to be bold enough to, to dare to, to have the audacity to, to be brave enough to.

 

[Insaanah]

غَرَق = Gharaq = Drowning, sinking

[Insaanah]

An interesting thing I came across, is the words for interference, meddling or intrusion, based on the root دخل
In Arabic the word for the above is تَدَخُّل
In Urdu there are two words for the above, دَخَلْ and مُدَاخَلَتْ, both meaning the same.

Thought that was interesting that the words are different but based on the same root.

From the same root دخل and along the same lines, is the word for admission, e.g. to a school, course, college etc.

In Urdu, it is دَاخِلَة , which in Arabic means interior, inside, inner self.
In Arabic, it is إدْخَال , which also has other meanings/usages, or دُخُول.

Also the word دَاخِل means inside, interior, inner, in Arabic, but to enter, or to be included in, in Urdu.

Khaslat خصلة , in Urdu with open ta خصلت = Habit, practice, property, attribute, quality.

Khidmah خدمة Urdu with open ta خدمت= Service
Kharaab خراب = ruin/ruined. Also in Urdu, spoiled or bad.
Khaarij خارج = Coming out, also in Urdu to expel/exclude.
Khurooj خروج = Exit (in Urdu usually used as exit from some place), and also in Urdu going out, going forth, exodus
Khandaq خندق = Trench, ditch

Khusoosan خصوصاً = Specifically
Khameer خمير (Arabic khameerah) خميرة = yeast, leavening, fermenting

[Muhammad Waqqas]

I'd like to learn words that both Arabic and Urdu have in common.. does anyone know any?

More than half of Urdu language comprises of Arabic, and the rest comprises of Farsi. If you pick up any page from the Qur'an, you'll find numerous words that are used in Urdu as they are in Arabic, and A LOT (really, much more than I could imagine) are a modified forms of Arabic words.

Surah Hadid for example:
العزيز - Al-Aziz..
شئي - Shai.. Thing..
قدير -- Qadeer.. i-e main yeh karne pe qadeer nahi hoon
اول -- awwal
اخر - Aakhir
ظاهر - Zahir
باطن - Baatin
ايام - Ayyam
يخرج اي خارج في الاردي -- Khaarij
مع i-e "with" وهو معكم -- Ma3a
بصير -- Baseer
ملك - Mulk
امور -- Umooor
ميثاق - Mithaaq
ايات -- Ayaat
النور - Noor
ميراث - Miraath
الفتح - Fath Fatha
قاتل -- Qaatal
اعظم -- A3zam
درجه -- Darajah
بعد -- B3d
وعد - W3ada
خبير - Khabeer

This would go on and on and on... These are just the first 10 ayat of Surah Al-Hadid..

So any learning Arabic should be very very easy for someone who knows Urdu.
