We use "Hadeera/muqbara/qabristan/qabroona" for graveyard.....
I was going to post the very same words, but I was uncertain about their origins. Qabr obviously comes from the Arabic word 'quboor' and the 'istan' is something we have added. Qabroona is the plural of qabr and qabristan would mean cemetery which is also known as hadeera.

A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

My father says : "Toley jabbey da yo bal khwaindey dee" Farsi, Arabic, Pashto, Urdu has many words in common....one should not confuse about this it happens with all the languages.....pukhto che sanga rarawana daa au sanga zamoong masharaano leekwalo aalimaano pakaar rawastey da, mung la pakar dee che mung humm hagha shaan istemaal kroo.....
They're both the same. Both mean land that is used for burials. Hadeera (pronounced as Admin Khan said) and qabristan both mean the same thing. They are used differently in sentences though, sometimes.
