Most of the words in this thread are either arabic and/ or persian words.
Don't forget that turkic languages borrowed huge amount of arabic and persian words also. So the similarity between urdu and turkish words are in reality persian and arabic words which is used in both languages (urdu and turkish).

But I think urdu word for black is "Kala" and turkish word for black is "Kara".
That sounds similar.

Yep, suprisingly they have a Turkic word for it(Keema), I remember getting across to another Turkic word for a food but I forgot it.

Lion is "sher" in Urdu. In Pashto "Zmaray".

Some Pakistanis have the name Aslan or Arslan though.
