Many Urdu speakers do, as do many Punjabi speakers.

Indeed. Here are two of many written instances:

"Har vakat ka saval hai..."

"vakat bada dukhadayak hai, paapi hai sansaar bahut,..."

Similarly, "takht" is often used as "takhat".

About the Goon Squad:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
A goon is a bully or thug who terrorizes or tries to do away with
opposition.

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri) <KalluM...@gmail.com>
tries his best to be a bully -- telling others what and when to post,
where to post and where not to post, deliberately publishing lies
about others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but fails
miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his lap dog Prem
Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah", and issues death threats
to people), is priming himself for conditions such as stroke and
heart disease.
