agree  Naseeruddin (X): Perfect! though KHANA and KHURAK and Urdu words. However, KHANA can be used in Hindi too but note that KHURAK is a pure Urdu word so it should not be used in Hindi.

  -> Languages evolve Naseer, and I think 'Khurak' now is as much a part of Hindi & Pbi. as of Urdu, and is widely used both in written as well as spoken form.
