Urdu-English/English-Urdu Practical Dictionary (Hippocrene Practical Dictionary)

good but i feel a lot of words are not common to use in every day use.

There is no "grammar section", despite what is claimed in the description. The English - Urdu side has about 33 entries per page. The positive aspect is that there are synonyms provided on both sides. No doubt this is still one of the few Urdu dictionaries out there that include transcription throughout.
