Re: Maali or baghban

Mali is Hindi word (although seems to be derivative of Arabic Malik) and Baghban is Persian.

Urdu gets its vocabulary from other languages like Arabic, Persian and Hindi, etc. I don’t think there would be any specific word for gardener other than Mali/ Baghban.

Waise aap ne Baghban movie dekhi? :crying:
