Have you tried writing to the publishers to ask where in America their books are sold?

If you live in a city where there are a fair number of Urdu speakers, the large bookstores may have a small selection. Most any bookstore would be happy to help locate such books for you and order them. The smaller bookstores would work more diligently to find them.

Try Ebay. I just did a search ... I typed in the word "Urdu" under the category "books" and 63 listings came up.

Many of them were for people who wanted to learn Urdu, but this link looked especially interesting ... offering Urdu ebooks:

This seller's rating is only 1 (very low), so proceed with caution.

Good luck.

Better wait until the seller has some better feedback.
