"Parbat" is Sanskrit not Urdu. The Urdu/Hindi word is Pahar

Parbat is also a word in Urdu. But yeah, Pahar is the more commonly used one.

Origin of the word parvat is sanskrit

I must clarify that the term "Nanga Parbat" finds its roots in the Punjabi (ancient prakrit & Sansikrat) language. Additionally, it is important to note that Urdu is just Hindi which is heavily influenced by Persian, and thus has strong connections to both Hindi and Punjabi, which are both members of the Indo-European language family. These two languages share a rich history and a significant amount of common vocabulary

Thanks for this added context.
Nanga Parbat certainly a most beautiful looking mountain.
