What Alhamdulillah literally says

The definite article al makes it "the praise, all of it." Not just thanks, but recognition that every good originates with Allah.

Alhamdulillah is Arabic, so the meaning is identical for a speaker of Urdu, English or any other language. What changes is the script it is written in and the words used to explain it. Urdu is spoken chiefly in Pakistan and northern India, and the rendering above is the one most commonly used there.
