NCERT Solutions for Class 4 Urdu Chapter 1: حمد
"Hamd" (حمد) is a poem by Ismail Meerathi that opens Sitar for Class 4. A hamd is a poem of praise to God, a form with a long tradition in Urdu, and Ismail Meerathi is known for clear, musical verse for children. Children recite it with clear pronunciation, learn new words and talk about gratitude. The chapter supports pronunciation, memory and reflection, and sets a gentle tone for the year. Learning it by heart and reciting it at assembly or at home builds confidence. This is chapter 1 of 14 in Sitar, the Class 4 Urdu textbook, and begins on page 1 of the printed 2026-27 book. It is the opening chapter and is followed by "چھپا خزانہ". Its form in the contents is: poem, by Ismail Meerathi. Transliterated title: Hamd. In "حمد", the aims are fluent reading, clear pronunciation and understanding. Children can be asked to read a few lines aloud, explain what they understood, find new words and use them in a sentence of their own. The book links Urdu with art, environment, science and social science, so discussion can move beyond the text to the child's surroundings. Oral answers come before written ones, and children should not be hurried or discouraged by errors in spelling or script. Make reading "حمد" a shared moment. Take turns reading lines, discuss unfamiliar words and look for them in newspapers or signs. Short, daily practice, with praise for effort, helps the script and the language settle. 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.
