It was in arabic - truly....it may have been an Urdu word- but the script was definitely arabic, unless it was just badly written Urdu. Even your example here doesn't look like the Urdu script I used to read and write, honest. The 'arabic' you have as your first example looks exactly like Urdu to me...it says Allah Akhbar. But, I will search on line until I find something which looks familiar to me, just to be on the safe side....after all it was 20 years ago.
APOLOGY COMING UP It seems that my style of writing/reading has been overtaken by 'persian?' script . So, you are right.
But, I wish I could find something to prove that I am not a total idiot which would save my face a little.
Hurrah I found a page written in my script...sadly it wouldn't let me copy and paste any of it.....http://www.urdulife.com/poetry/poetry.cgi?nig_8....if you can bear to humour me a bit, go and take a look - pretty please.
I used to read Gurmukhi script, too in the dim and distant past - but I have forgotten it all now. I learned it as an aid to speaking Punjabi - but then discovered that those to whom I'd be teaching English spoke punjabi but wrote in Urdu.
You're making up the translations - I don't believe a word of it.
