Urdu words fascinate me no end. I don't always understand them but here are a few I looked up or defined based on my best guesses.
Tilismath- Magic (Hyderabad has a unani medicine called Zinda Tilismath)
Jazbaat- Emotions
Zarra- Particle (not to be confused with Zorro)
Tarkash- Quiver, a container for arrows
Tamanna/Arzoo- Wish
Justaju-Quest
Maikada- made famous by Pankaj Udhas (India's answer to Punk) in his ghazal 'Ek taraf uska ghar ek taraf maikada' , means 'Bar'
Happened to see two songs starring heroines who disappeared after a (presumably) brief career- Vimi in Hamraaz, and Kumud Chugani in a nice song from the movie Vaasna. No idea what became of them.
