Rekhta

What it actually is

Ghalib, Faiz, Mir and tens of thousands of others, each poem displayed in Urdu, Devanagari and roman with word meanings on hover and often a recitation. Urdu's centre of gravity is its poetry, and this is the reason a learner can reach it years earlier than they otherwise could. Also hosts a large free ebook library. Literary register throughout — it will not teach you to buy a train ticket.
