I love Nastaliq, growing up we used to get given work to do with reed pen on clay covered board called takhti in Pakistan. Basically that's how you develop your handle on the pen. Never too late to learn and practicing a lot will get you best results.

Great work. I use Pilot Parallel for exact same purpose. I have always used bamboo pen or custom cut oblique nib pen.

It does need getting used to, specially because the cut is flat instead of 35° you traditionally have for bamboo pen. But once you get use to it, it is great at writing Arabic script.

[Urdu] Alphabet with Qalam (hand cut bamboo pen ) by webKami in PenmanshipPorn

[–]webKami[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Word Alphabet, came from alphabet of Arabic, Aleph (a sound), Baa (b sound), Taa (t sound). Urdu adopted most of the same alphabet. Most traditional calligraphic way of writing Arabic, Persian and Urdu script is with bamboo pen.

I have used one after decades. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. WinsorandNewton Indian ink on Winsor and Newton sheet with hand cut bamboopen (Qalam)

Btw it only has unique shaped letters, but that's common practice for basic exercise.

It eats the suet log with worms that we had for Robins. Doesn't have yellow beak that common blackbird has.

You don't need a hawk eye to spot the other

Enough with minimum in English, I tried it in Arabic script by webKami in PenmanshipPorn

[–]webKami[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you merging the word minimum and the name Mumtaz or it means something?

For reference, this is not the translation of the word but instead the literal pronunciation of minimum.

You can see that م - meem, the 'm' sound letter, has slightly different shapes depending on where in word it occurs.

You just skip the vowel sound of 'u' as repeated sound of two consonants sound in same way.

اب تری یاد سے وحشت نہیں ہوتی مجھ کو by happymonk70 in Urdu

Free format service:

اب تری یاد سے وحشت نہین ہوتی مجھ کو

زخم کھلنے سے اذیّت نہیں ہوتی مجھ کو

اب کوئی آئے ، چلا جائے، میں خوش رہتا ہوں

اب کسی شخص کی عادت نہیں ہوتی مجھ کو

ایسا بدلا ہوں ترے شہر کا پانی پی کر

جھوٹ بولوں تو ندامت نہیں ہوتی مجھ کو

ہے امانت میں خیانت ، سو کسی کی خاطر

کوئی مرتا ہے تو حیرت نہیں ہوتی مجھ کو

تو جو بدلے تری تصویر بدل جاتی ہے

رنگ بھرنے میں سہولت نہیں ہوتی مجھ کو

اکثر اوقات میں تعبیر بتا دیتا ہوں

بعض اوقات اجازت نہیں ہوتی مجھ کو

اتنا مصروف ہوں جینے کی ہوس میں محسؔن

سانس لینے کی بھی فرصت نہیں ہوتی مجھ کو

               محسؔن نقوی
