I will leave the top two difficult ones for Izhar bhai :-)

3. The yellow flowers are called Amaltas (Cassia)

4. The purple flowers perhaps do not have a Urdu name, rather it is called Lagerstroemia or crepe myrtle. Nurserymen know this name.

Thanks everybody for your interest, the first one to me seems some cousin of 'string of pearls' as it forms hanging down branches though not as long as the string of pearls.
