2,568 most common Urdu words
Ranked by how often each word turns up in everyday Urdu, with its meaning in English.
These are the 2,568 words that come up most often in everyday Urdu (اردو), counted as they are actually said rather than as dictionary headwords — so where Urdu changes a word's ending, each ending is counted on its own.

Take the list with you
The whole list as a tab-separated file — rank, word, meaning — about 79 KB. It opens in any spreadsheet.
Frequencies come from the OpenSubtitles corpus via hermitdave/FrequencyWords; English meanings from Wiktextract. Both are CC BY-SA 4.0, and so is this list.
Words stick once you use them
A list gets you the first few hundred. Saying them to someone who speaks Urdu is what makes them stay.
