意思
Asking someone to stay until you arrive.
文化背景
In Pakistan, 'Mera intezar karein' is often followed by 'Insha'Allah' (God willing), acknowledging that arrival times are subject to divine and traffic-related will. In cities like Lucknow, the phrase might be replaced by the even more formal 'Zahmat farmaiye' (Please take the trouble to wait), reflecting the 'Tehzeeb' (etiquette) of the region. In modern tech hubs like Bangalore or Islamabad, this phrase is frequently used in Slack or WhatsApp messages, often abbreviated or mixed with English (e.g., 'Mera wait karein'). Waiting is a central theme in Urdu poetry. To ask someone to wait is to ask for a sign of affection. A famous saying is 'Intezar ka phal meetha hota hai' (The fruit of waiting is sweet).
The 'Zara' Trick
Add 'zara' (just/a bit) before 'intezar' to sound like a native. 'Mera zara intezar karein'.
The 'Z' Sound
Don't pronounce 'Intezar' with a 'J' sound (Intejar). This is a common mistake for beginners and sounds incorrect in Urdu.

In Urdu texting (Roman Urdu), people often just write 'wait krna' or 'intezar krna'.
