Explanation:
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.

gola bari
Bombarding


Explanation:
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.
