NCERT Solutions for Class 1 Urdu Chapter 9: چاند کا بچہ
"Chaand Ka Bachcha" (the child of the moon) is a poem by Afsar Meerathi, who also wrote the earlier moon poem in the book. The tender title suggests an imaginative figure, and the moon is a favourite subject for children's verse. Children recite, enjoy the sound and talk about the night sky. The poem builds memory and rhythm and encourages imagination. Comparing the two moon poems can be a fun activity, asking children what is similar and what is different. Drawing the moon and the child gives creative practice. This is chapter 9 of 18 in Shahnai, the Class 1 Urdu textbook, and begins on page 54 of the printed 2026-27 book. It follows "سردی کی دوپہر" and is followed by "میری بلّی". Its form in the contents is: poem, by Afsar Meerathi. Transliterated title: Chaand ka Bachcha. Urdu is written right to left in a cursive script, so reading and writing need regular, patient practice. With "چاند کا بچہ", teachers are advised to read the lesson aloud first, let children repeat with correct pronunciation, discuss the meaning of new words and then move to oral and written questions. Writing practice builds from letters to words to sentences. Poems are best learnt with rhythm and recited aloud, and children should be encouraged to love the sound of the language as much as its script. After "چاند کا بچہ", ask your child to tell you the story or the idea in their own words, and to write one or two neat sentences in Urdu script. Elders can add poems, sayings and stories from their own childhood, which strengthens the connection with the language. This overview is written from the 2026-27 textbook's Contents page, its preface and the chapter title, to help families and teachers prepare. Please read the chapter itself for exact content, activities and exercises.
