Learn to write Urdu letters, words, and sentences in the elegant Nastaliq script.
Learn these essential stroke patterns to practice Nastaliq writing.
ب, ت, ث, ن, ی — The base of these letters is a flat or slightly curved line. Write right to left.
م, ق, ف — These letters have a circular or oval shape. Draw counter-clockwise.
ع, غ, ح, خ — These letters feature smooth, inward-curving strokes.
ل, ک, گ — Vertical drop combined with a base stroke. Practice each component.
Always add dots after completing the main stroke — small, round, and precisely placed.
Letters cascade diagonally downward right-to-left within each word — the signature Nastaliq look.
For practice: 15 minutes daily works well. Always start with individual letters, then words, then sentences.
Practice writing these important Islamic words. Observe how the letters join in each word.
Practice writing these important Urdu sentences — phrases used daily in Islamic life.
To improve: write one sentence five times daily. Start slow, then increase speed. Use a fine-tipped pen for Nastaliq practice.
