Shaayarii--Urdu Poetry and Hindi Kavita - Nagari version of most of Nita's Urdu Poetry site
"On this page I have made an attempt to write the text in Hindi which already exists on Urdu Poetry Archive created by Nita Awatramani. She has made a tremendous effort to put the Urdu poetry on the Net. Even though I do not know Urdu but I do enjoy the poetry. So here I am trying to write it in Hindi."

Urdu Dictionary by Usman Qazi
"My objective is to come up with a (Urdu/Hindi)=>(Urdu/Hindi) thesaurus. I will keep developing the follwing list, which is partly my own and partly taken from a word-list by a Mr. Sitaraam Shastree. Then, with people's help, I'll try to get a thesaurus out of it. Etymology will also be added as time permits.
