Please see; please observe; please consider; please review; a polite imperative phrase used to draw attention to something, to request someone to look at or examine something, or to refer the reader to a particular part of a document, figure, or table. ملاحظہ (mulahizah) is the Urdu noun meaning observation, consideration, viewing, or perusal, derived from the Arabic root ل ح ظ (l h z), meaning to look, to observe, to consider. کریں (karein) is the polite imperative (or subjunctive) form of the verb کرنا (karna), meaning to do. Together, ملاحظہ کریں literally means "do observation" or "please observe". This phrase is used in formal writing (books, articles, reports, letters) as a way to direct the reader's attention to something, similar to "see" or "cf." in English. For example, "تفصیلات کے لیے صفحہ 10 ملاحظہ کریں" (for details, see page 10). "تصویر نمبر 3 ملاحظہ کریں" (see figure number 3). "ملاحظہ کریں کہ یہ کیسے ہوتا ہے" (observe how this happens). The phrase can also be used in spoken Urdu in formal contexts (e.g., during a presentation: "ملاحظہ کریں، یہ ہے ہمارا نیا پروڈکٹ" (please observe, this is our new product)). The polarity is neutral, simply a polite directive. The opposite concepts would be "نظر انداز کریں" (nazar andaaz karein, ignore) or "چھوڑ دیں" (chhod dein, leave). The phrase is grammatically in the imperative mood, with the honorific/polite form "کریں" (karein) used for respectful address.
