Infact ��� this word i saw in an URDU Qaida,published in india[gulshan-a-urdu]i could not find it in any urdu dictionary,i thought it might not be a hindi word.it looks its not hindi either.

The word is {Zal or yal}as Zala/yala Baree.
& the question is that this word has another meaning in Hindi language other than Yala Baree=Hailstorm.

Your query is illegible for unknown reasons. Have you used Hindi unicode? It'd be great if you could put your question in Roman (English) so as to enable us to suggest the answers.

There appears to be no word as "zal" in Hindi. In fact, Hindi does not have "z" sound either for its original words and it has borrowed this sound from Urdu (Zameer, Zehmat, Zakhmii etc.) or English (lazy, zeal etc.). A small dot is put under J i.e. ज to denote that this letter has "z" sound, e.g. ज़माना (ZamAnA) ज़रा (Zara). However, we have got "jal" in Hindi which means water, but it appears to be irrelevant for this question.

Similar, we don't seem to have "yala" for the context mentioned by you. However, we have got "yalA" यला which means earth.

Hindi term (edited): gola bari

Bombarding

The word you are looking for could be gola bari. Gola means anything round, in this context a bomb. And bari means shower. The terms together would mean a shower of bombs or bombarding. In what context did you read this term? If it had anything to do with warfare, then the above interpretation is correct.
Regards.
