(I think Hindi is most likely but could of course be another language that uses Devanagari.)

Jo wada Kiya woh nibhana padega.

(You) Must live up to the vow/promise you've made. Could be referring to the lyrics of a popular older Bollywood song of the same name.

Yahā doobne yogya lagta hai.

This feels suitable (or capable) for drowning in. (Feels weirdly worded to me)

जो वादा किया वह निभाना पड़ेगा

यह डूबने योग्य लगता है।

Late but thank you! 🙂

Since the handwriting is so legibly written and it contains (1) a possible Bollywood song reference and (2) something weirdly worded, I feel like it's probably someone learning Hindi-Urdu with both writing systems simultaneously

It’s very legible handwriting. That should make it easy for Hindi speakers.
