About Hindi to Urdu Translation

Hindi to Urdu translation connects two closely related languages that are mutually intelligible in spoken form but use entirely different scripts. Hindi uses Devanagari while Urdu uses Nastaliq (a form of Perso-Arabic script). Together, Hindi and Urdu speakers number over 800 million people across India, Pakistan, and global diaspora communities. The spoken languages share most of their grammar and everyday vocabulary, but diverge in formal, literary, and technical registers, with Hindi borrowing from Sanskrit and Urdu from Arabic and Persian. This tool is invaluable for cross-border communication, Bollywood/entertainment content, and interfaith or intercultural dialogue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hindi and Urdu the same language?
Hindi and Urdu are mutually intelligible in everyday spoken conversation — both descended from the same Hindustani base. They differ in script (Devanagari vs Nastaliq), formal vocabulary (Sanskrit-derived vs Arabic/Persian-derived), and literary traditions. Linguists sometimes call the shared base "Hindustani."
Is Hindi to Urdu translation free?
Yes, completely free with no signup, no word limits, and no hidden charges.
Why do I need a translator if Hindi and Urdu are similar?
While spoken Hindi and Urdu are very similar for everyday conversation, the script difference makes written communication impossible without translation. A Hindi speaker cannot read Nastaliq (Urdu script) and an Urdu speaker cannot read Devanagari. This translator handles the script conversion plus vocabulary differences in formal contexts.
Does this convert Devanagari to Nastaliq script?
Yes. Input your Hindi text in Devanagari script and the tool outputs the Urdu equivalent in Nastaliq (Perso-Arabic) script — the traditional and official script for Urdu.
What is the difference between Hindi and Urdu vocabulary?
In everyday speech, Hindi and Urdu share most of their vocabulary. Differences appear in formal contexts: Hindi formal writing draws from Sanskrit (e.g., विद्यालय for school), while Urdu formal writing uses Arabic and Persian words (e.g., مدرسہ for school). Our "Formal Vocabulary" table above shows common examples.
Can I use this to translate Bollywood lyrics into Urdu?
Yes. Bollywood lyrics often mix Hindi and Urdu words freely (called "Hindustani"). Many classic film songs were written in an Urdu-heavy style. You can paste Hindi song lyrics and get the Urdu translation instantly.
Is this useful for people communicating with Pakistan?
Yes. Hindi speakers communicating with Urdu-speaking people in Pakistan can use this tool to convert their Hindi text to Urdu script. Since the spoken languages are largely the same, this is primarily a script conversion tool for written communication.
How do I type in Hindi to use this translator?
Use our English to Hindi Typing tool to type Hindi in Devanagari script using an English keyboard (e.g., type "namaste" and get "नमस्ते"), then paste the Devanagari text here to translate it to Urdu.
What is Nastaliq script?
Nastaliq (نستعلیق) is a calligraphic style of Perso-Arabic script used for writing Urdu, Farsi, and other languages. It flows right to left and has a distinctive diagonal baseline. It was developed in Iran in the 14th-15th century and became the standard for Urdu writing.
