Re: Speaking hindi…good or bad?
It is Urdu. With a couple of words from other language. Still Urdu.
Urdu (lashkari zabaan) boasts being all welcoming language.
What people call Hindi has a little more of Sanskrit (or absolutely no flavor of Sanskrit) but with different script adopted to make it look like a different language that’s all.
Now if Iqbal had used all words from Sanskrit then it would have been called Sanskrit.
Giving Iqbal as example is not so smart. He also did poetry in Farsi. He was NOT just Urdu poet.
And his Farsi poetry is not called Urdu poetry for a reason.
FYI: Correct shayr is..just a minor correction.
Iqbal BaRa Updeshak Hai, Man Baton Mein Moh Leta Hai
Guftar ka Yeh Ghazi To Bana, Kirdaar Ka Ghaazi Ban Na Saka
