Well yes, Urdu contains a fair amount of Sanskrit derived words and other Indic-origin words, naturally
We do use aab to mean water as well as Tacit Wave pointed out, although it might be of Persian origin and not Arabic.
I think Aab has its root in Sanskrit. Punj-aab is land of five rivers.
Edit: Sry missed earlier conversation on this.
afternoon is apraahn in sanskrit
kidnap is apharan
Sorry if I sound like an a-hole but most Sanskrit words should end with a vowel. Apaharanam becomes kidnap. I haven't heard apraahn though.
