Urdu is the national language of Pakistan, spoken by more than 104 million people in that country and around the world. If your significant other speaks Urdu as their first language, saying "I love you" in Urdu will really warm their heart. If you are male, say mein ap say muhabat karta hoon. If you are female, you would say mein ap say muhabat karti hoon. While Urdu is written in a script similar to Arabic, you can also read the words written with the alphabet English uses. [1]

Expressing Your Love to a Person

  1. The Urdu language recognizes different stages of love. Unlike English, there are several different words that mean "love." The verb mahabbat comes closest to what an English speaker would describe as "love" when they tell someone "I love you." It indicates a devotion to and passion for the person. [2]
    • If you are male, you would say mein ap say muhabat karta hoon .
    • If you are female, you would say mein ap say muhabat karti hoon .

    Tip: Mahabbat is also used to express non-romantic love, such as love for a friend or family member. However, this verb is only used to express love for other people – not for animals or inanimate objects.

  2. Try saying tum mere liye intehai aihem ho , which means "you mean so much to me." You might also say aap kay liye meri muhabbat ko alfaaz byan nahin kar sakte , which means "words can't describe my love for you." [3]
    • Also try hamain aik saath hona chahiye tha , which means "we were meant to be together."

  3. In a tender moment, say jab mei aap ki taraf daikhta hun tou, mei apni ankhon ky samnay apni baqi zindagi daikhta hun . This phrase means "when I look at you, I see the rest of my life in front of my eyes." This can let your significant other know you are committed to them forever.
    • If the two of you dated other people before you found each other, you might also try mei aap ki pehli date, bosa, ya mahabat nahin ho sakta, lekin mei aap ki akhri ban na chahta hun . This phrase means "I may not be your first date, kiss, or love, but I want to be your last."

    Expressing love in Urdu requires understanding the distinction between different words for love. 'Muhabbat' denotes a deeper, more lasting love, while 'pyaar' is more commonly used for romantic interest. The simplest phrase is 'Mujhe tumse pyaar hai' — 'I love you'. However, Urdu offers poetic flexibility, allowing you to craft more ornate declarations like 'Mere liye tumhari muhabbat intehai zaroori hai' — 'Your love is essential to me'.

Showing Romantic Interest

  1. You may not be ready to say "I love you" yet, but you want to explore a romantic relationship. Try saying main tum ko aik dost say barh kar samajhta hoon , which means "I think of you as more than a friend." [4]
    • You could also say main tumhara dewana hoon , which means "I've got a crush on you."
  2. While the verb pyaar technically translates to the word "love" in English, it refers to an initial stage of infatuation with someone. The word payer may be used after 2 or 3 dates. This would typically be considered too soon for someone to say "I love you" in English, but in Urdu, this is an accepted and understood statement. [5]
    • If you are male, you would say mein tumse pyar karta hoon .
    • If you are female, you would say mein tumse pyar karti hoon .

    Tip: The verb pyaar is also used to talk about having a crush on someone you'll likely never meet, such as a movie star or a professional athlete.

  3. If your significant other speaks Urdu, a compliment in their language will mean so much more to them. Try aap khoobsoorat lag rahi hain , which means "you look gorgeous." [6]
    • Aap bohat khubsurat ho means "you're so beautiful."
    • Tum bohat khoobsoorat ho means "you're so handsome."

    Variations: The phrase aap ki muskurahat khubsurat hay means "your smile is beautiful" or "you have a beautiful smile." You might also try aap ki pasand achee hai , which means "you have great taste."

  4. If you're in love with someone, you love the things they do as well as their appearance. You might say aap ka batin app kay zahir say bhi ziadah khubsurat hay , which means "your inside is even more beautiful than your outside."
    • If your love makes you laugh, you might say aap ki mazah ki hiss bohat achchee hay , which means "you have a great sense of humor."
    • When your love cooks a delicious meal, you might say mujhay aap kay pakwaan pasand hain , which means "I love your cooking."
  5. If you're looking for a poetic way to express both your love and gratefulness to your significant other, say hameesha tufan ky baad meri qous o qazah honay ky liye aap ka shukriya . This phrase means "thank you for always being my rainbow after the storm."
    • You might also say Aap ky sath hona hi meri pasandidah jagah hai , which means "together with you is my favorite place to be."

    "Mujhy aap ki awaz pasand hai" (I love your voice). "Mujhy ap par crush hai" (I've a crush on you). You got different answers because Urdu has a variety of words translating to "love" and also there can be some difference between "tum (you)" and "ap(you in T-V distinction)".
