In this article a relatively lesser known dictionary of Urdu is introduced and its historical and linguistic value highlighted. Research indicates that Qarār al-Lughāt (316 pages) was compiled around 1914. It has four sections of compound proverbs, idioms, nouns and commonly used Persian phrases. The explanations in the dictionary are brief, there are errors in alphabetical arrangement and at places there are concerns about the authenticity of its references. Although the dictionary does not qualify as a work of high quality and standard, its historical value makes it a significant piece of work.
