Abstract
Proverbs are found in almost every language and, as difined by Oxford Encyclpedic English Dictionary, a proverb is "a short pithy saying in general use, held held to embody a general truth". Hence, proverbs have wisdom and also reflect social milieu. Proverbs from different eras can also help analyse linguistic variation as it occurs with time. In Urdu dictionaries, proverbs are found in abundance as they are considered to be an integral pat of an Urdu dictionary. Also, some especial dictionaries or glossaries enlisting Urdu proverbs and their meanings have also been compiled and published. This article traces and analyses dictionaries of Urdu proverbs published over the last two hundred years or so.
