Abstract
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was a well known Muslim scholar, reformist,
educationist and writer of Persian, Arabic and Urdu languages. He is often
described as two nation theory founder. He awakened the Muslims for the
revival of their past position. His contribution is multi dimensional, ranging
from practical efforts in the field of education and socio-political awareness
to theoretical views in religion and literature. One of his contributions
towards Urdu language was his lexicography. In 1868 Sir Syed Ahmed
Khan started to compile an Urdu dictionary named Lughat-e-Zaban-e-Urdu
and published its contents in Aligarh Institute Gazette but later he could not
complete it. This write up deals with the critical evaluation of Sir Syed's
Namoona-e-Lughat-e-Zaban-e-Urdu and also highlights its significance in the
history of Urdu lexicography.
