I think the asker\'s requirement only is translation of Bhanji so we keep our answers to that word , if he would have asked more info then we can provide more info but it can confuse the asker for the correct answer. like a niece is a daughter of brother\'s sisiter or daughter of sister\'s sister or bhateeji is a cousin of a bhanji or a bhateeji is a daughter of a brother or a etc etc etc.... he is only asking meaning of Bhanji not niece.

sister's daughter


Explanation:
The exact translation of Bhanji is a "sister's daughter"
"Niece" would be the correct term in English. However, you must keep in mind that a "niece" can be EITHER:
a) A sister's daughter OR
b) A brother's daughter

While a \"sister\'s daughter\" and a \"brother\'s daughter\" both are called \"neice\" in English, in Urdu there are two separate words for each :
sister\'s daughter : \"bhanji\"
brother\'s daughter: \"bhateeji\"
