Farhang-i istilahat-i ilm-i hay'at o falakiyat (1949)

Farhang-i istilahat-i ilm-i hay'at o falakiyat belongs to the publication series of the Anjuman Taraqqi-e Urdu Pakistan and was printed in Karachi; it is a glossary giving Urdu and Arabic equivalents for English astronomical terms, arranged in English alphabetical order from A to Z. ^{1 4 3}

• It sets one or more equivalents against each English term, for example "Altitude" as irtifa', subdivided into true, apparent and observed, and "Almucantars" as al-muqantarat or circles parallel to the horizon. ^{5 6}
• Many entries carry a brief explanation, and related sub-terms are grouped under one heading, such as kinds of year (solar, lunar, leap, sidereal) and kinds of angle. ^{6 7 8}
• It notes that many star names in European astronomy are corruptions of Arabic originals, saying for example that "Achernar" derives from akhir al-nahr ("the end of the river") and that "Algol" is al-ghul, adding that Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi described it as reddish whereas today it is brilliant white. ^{1 2}
• Under "Almagest" it calls it Ptolemy's famous book of astronomy, and under "Astrolabe" a metal disc used to find the altitude of celestial bodies. ^{5 9}

It represents the Anjuman Taraqqi-e Urdu's effort to build an Urdu scientific vocabulary drawing on the Arabic astronomical heritage, restoring the Arabic origin of English terms where one exists. ^{1 2}
