Having worked with many people from India and Pakistan in the 1990s, I was often

fascinated by words that sounded Arabic in origin. When asking about the meanin
g, they were indeed Arabic. And I could detect more words in the few Hindi Bolly
wood movies that I have seen as well.
Arabic influence on Hindi may have been via several avenues. One was via Farsi (
Persian) as an intermediate, having been the language of the court for the Mugha
l emperors. Another was through Muslim scholars using these words from Arabic te
xts and they made their way into the vernacular.
Whatever the avenues are, here are some words that I did recognize, with the Ara
bic spelling and Arabic meaning, which the Hindi derives from, but may deviate s
omewhat from.
waqt = ??? = time
admi = ???? = human being
insaan = ????? = human being
takriban = ?????? = approximately, almost
leken = ??? = but
shaitan = ????? = devil, satan
mabhoom = ????? = hidden, unknown future event
shukriya = ??? = thank you, not an exact copy, "ya" is added
khabar = ??? = news item
akhbar = ????? = plural of above
ajab = ??? = wonder, strange occurrence
ajib = ???? = strange, derived from above root
ajaib = ????? = plural of ajab, same root. Punjabi/Sikh name
aql = ??? = mind, intellect
dimag = ???? = intellect in Hindi, though the Arabic word could mean "head", "sk
ull", and "brain" as well
azam = ??? = great
azmat = ???? = greatness, derived from above root
silsila = ????? = chain, Hindi = series of events
mushkil = ???? = problem, unclear
hal = ??? = condition, state
mahabat = ???? = love
kharab = ???? = destruction
bilkol = ????? = "all of it", derives from ??
ya3ni = ???? = which means, meaning, also a "conversation filler"
intezar = ?????? = waiting for
mohtaram = ????? = respected
mukarram = ???? = from ??? karam, generosity
sahib = ???? = companion, friend, used as Mister in Hindi
adab = ???? = good manners
adat = ????? = customs
aynak = ??? = from eye (ain), means spectacles in Hindi
akhir = ??? = the end
alam = ???? = universe
alim = ???? = scholar, scientist, learned person
asal = ??? = origin
asali = ???? = original
ashiq = ???? = lover
aziz = ???? = dear
filhal = ?? ????? = currently, at the moment
marhoom = ????? = is often used when referring to people who have passed on not
unlike allah yarhamuh. Same usage as in rural Egypt
kalam = ???? = speech, especially the words of a poet
qalam = ??? = pen
kursi = ???? = chair
ijazat = ????? = permission

hayat = ???? = life

Ishq = ??? = deep love, extreme passion
saltanat = ????? = kingdom
qubul = ???? = agree
matlab = ???? = concern, meaning
mashhoor = ????? = famous, known
hirasat = ????? = guarding
khass = ??? = special, distinct
takleef = ????? = orders given, mission
dunya = ???? = world
There are also words that are what language teachers call "false friends" :
gharib (????), for example, usually means poor and not "strange, foreign" though
it can also mean the latter in certain contexts, e.g. ???? ? ????.
This is not unlike in the Middle East where gharib also means "stranger, foreign
er, wanderer, someone with unknown origin/domicile".
There is also a Hindi/Urdu to English dictionary which allows input in Arabic ch
aracters.
