Telling The Date In Urdu
Telling or asking for dates is an important element of our daily life. Nowadays the Gregorian calendar is used mostly all around the world and it is the same as Urdu dates.
Months In Urdu
There are two words for a month in Urdu مہینہ (maheena) and ماہ (maah). Every Pakistani family uses both versions.
Some of the examples are given below:
- گزشتہ ماہ ہم کراچی گئے تھے (Guzishta mah hum Karachi gaye thy) -We went to Karachi last month.
- جنوری ری کے مہینے کی آخری تاریخ کو امتحان ختم ہو جائے گا. (January ki akhri tareekh ko imtahan khatam hojayega.) Exams will be ended on the last date of the month of January.
- گزشتہ سال خوفناک زلزلہ آیا تھا۔ (Guzishta Saal khofnak zalzala Aya tha.) -Last year,there was a terrible earthquake.
- ستمبر کے مہینے میں موسم بہت اچھا ہوجاتا ہے (September k maheene mai mosam bht acha ho jata hai.) -In the month of September,the weather becomes pretty good.
Time Period In Urdu

- آج کیا تاریخ ہے۔ (AAj kia tareekh hai) -What is the date today?
گزشتہ (guzishta) and اگلے (aglay) are two opposite words implying “last” and “next” respectively. The word اس (is) refers to “this”. Let’s now look at some examples

Here is a list of the Urdu words for the year that you need to know about. These are all important while telling the date in Urdu.
Telling Time In Urdu
The following chart shows typical usage of sentences in Urdu which relate to asking the time in different ways in any event. These sentences are used in asking time daily. Some of the familiar examples are given below in Urdu
- وقت کیا ہواہے؟ (Waqt Kiya hova hai?) -What is the time?
- آپکی گھڑی پر کیا وقت ہوا ہے؟ (Aapki ghari per kia waqt hova hai?) -What time is it on your watch?
Before moving further, here is an additional pattern of Urdu words used in telling or asking time:
Hour
The word hour translates to (ghanta) in the Urdu language. As you know there are twelve numbers on the clock and without knowing their names in Urdu you will not be able to learn how to ask or tell time. If you are in the transport sector of Pakistan, then you must be aware of this word.
For learning time you should be familiar with the twelve-hour concept of am and pm.
In the Urdu language, the word se pehar (سہ پہر) is used for noon, subah(صبح) for the morning, and sham (شام) for the evening. They relate to the letters or patterns of a.m and p.m in Urdu or the day period times.
For the term o’clock the word (bajy) is used. To understand this concept, one should practice this format with the numbers of Urdu like this:
- ایک بجے (Ek bajy) -One o’clock
- دو بجے (Dou bajy) -Two o’clock
Some other examples of these words are:
فٹبال میچ اس اتوار دس بجے کھیلا جائے گا ۔ (Football match is itwar das bajy khaila jayega) -This Sunday, a football match will be played at 10 o’clock in the morning.
Minutes
The next important element in telling time is the minute which is termed the same (منٹ) in Urdu. As we use these minutes as time references for accuracy, similarly in Urdu you have to be proficient in this. They are a little bit tricky and difficult but practice will make it easy for you. Here are some examples which will help you in understanding:
- ایک بج کر اٹھایس منٹ ۔ (Aik baj kar athaees minute.) -One thirty-eight.
- اس جمعہ کو دس بجے کر پچاس منٹ پر میٹنگ شروع ہوگی۔ (Is jumma ko das bajy kar pacha’s mint par meeting shuru hogi.) -The meeting will start at 10:50 this Friday
Concept Of Seconds
The word second is pronounced the same in Urdu (سیکنڈ) so it’s not that difficult to understand this:
- کچھ ہی سکعنڈ میں کلاس شروع ہو جائے گی ۔ (Kuch hi second mai class shuru hojayegi) -Class will be started soon in a few seconds.
Writing Time In Urdu
Some of the examples are given below which are used in reference to time and other Urdu phrases used in day period times:
- صبح ( subah) -Morning
- دوپہر (dopehar) -Noon
- سہ پہر (seeh pehar) -Afternoon
- شام (Shaam) -Evening
- رات (Raat) -Night
- صبح سویرے (subahsawery) -Early Morning
