My video must be 60 seconds — how many words?

About 150 words in English or about 130 in Urdu. Write the script first, then time it here and cut the weakest lines until it fits.

Complete Guide to Script Timing

Every video starts with a length, and every length starts with words. A 60-second short needs about 150 English words; a 10-minute video needs about 1,500. The mistake most beginners make is writing too much and then rushing the recording to fit. Write your script, time it here, and cut lines until the time is right — cutting a weak line always beats rushing a good one. Leave a little room too: pauses, emphasis and a breath at the end all take seconds that the word count does not show.
