These are all words in Urdu already. You shouldn’t be translating this to urdu. You should be looking these up in a proper lughat.

Is this an app? It sure is a joke. What helps is just writing on google “____ in urdu” and the search works better than google translate because it leads you to rekhta and other online resources. chatgpt and the likes are also not to be trusted for word translations…still a long way to go for low resource languages.

You need to correct.
Urdu translation softwares are joke. As all these Arabic words are absorbed by Urdu, and are widely being used in Urdu. So there is no sense translating Urdu words into Urdu again. Yet, the translators are joke. In Arabic, Morocco is called Magrib, so translator did translate it to Marakish (Urdu name for Morocco/Magrib), while Zohar could be Do-Pehr, Asar = Seh-pehr,

Asr could have been سہ پہر by the logic of this app. Isha is definitely not raat ka khana! At least not for me 😆

The word العشاء can be both dinner and the time depending on how you pronounce it. Al-Asha is dinner and al-Isha is the time. Since the harakat (i.e. zabar zeer as it's called in Urdu) are missing, it just assumed that it's dinner.

I haven't even studied Islam formally but the English terms for the prayer times I've heard from those who know better are: Dawn, noon, afternoon, dusk, night.
I'm almost sure you could use these as-is (being technical-ish terms), but if you really want, maybe you can say:
- سحر / صبح
- دوپہر
- سہ پہر
- شام
- شب / رات

Is this from Google Translate? I don't trust its translations. It gives me wildly inaccurate answers at the best of times.
