| | Urdu translation:کھڑکی یا دروازے کی درزوں سے آنے والی ہوا | Explanation:
Although a "draft" in the given category makes most sense as a drawing or "خاکہ" as has been proposed, the fact that the adjectives "window" and "door" have been used with it makes me think if it is referring to its other more common meaning: In US and Canada a "window draft" or a "door draft" typically refers to that air, especially the cold air in winter, that flows through from the leaks and crevices of windows and doors.
Given more context it can be determined which meaning is correct here.
Here is an example of a website showing the general meaning of the term:
http://www.improvementscatalog.com/home/improvements/55378-w...
Here are two definitions of "draft" for this particular meaning, from Dictionary.com:
4. a current of air in any enclosed space, esp. in a room, chimney, or stove.
5. a current of air moving in an upward or downward direction.
