Khuda hafiz

What Khuda hafiz means

Khuda hafiz is written خدا حافظ in the Urdu script (with diacritics: خُدا حافِظ) and means Goodbye (lit. God protect you) in English. It is taught in the Greetings lessons under Partings & Blessings.

Note: Older / classical farewell. Common with grandparents and in Indian Urdu. Younger Pakistanis increasingly say "Allah hafiz" instead.
