Patili, papita, patta are there in Hindi also.

patta is evolved from sanskit word Patra.

Adawatein thi, Taghaful tha, Ranjishen thi, Magar Bicharne wale main sab kuch tha magar be wafai na thi wo humsafar tha magar us se hum nawayi na thi.

'Humsafar' song

There were feelings of animosity,
Indifference,
And anguish between us,
My departed lover, had been everything,
But unfaithfulness.

Adawatein thi, Taghaful tha, Ranjishen thi, Magar Bicharne wale main sab kuch tha magar be wafai na thi wo humsafar tha magar us se hum nawayi na thi.

Humnawa means speaking in one voice. So, hum nawayi means being of one voice, ie, expressing agreement.
Then there's humkhayal, humnafas, humkadam, humsafar, humbistar, humniwala, humpyala, humdard.

Ahan for Loha / iron we got from farsi language

No qalandar is not a madari

Qalandar indeed means a madari also

See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdmgvq_FPNI.

description given is:

"Sloth Bear with a kalander / madari - people who use sloth bears for a living, by making them dance and do other entertaining acts. This is now banned in India, but still takes place in some places"

Just one example but there are many others.

Actually in pure Urdu i think it will be "Urdu Hindi se behtar zaban hai."

Urdu rumani aur shayarana zaban jabki Hindi mein sheetalta aur swachhata hai.
