Awami Nastaliq is a Graphite font. In XeTeX you would need to say "Awami
Nastaliq/GR". I'm not sure if that syntax would work in XeLaTeX, but
somehow you have to indicate Graphite.
The xelatex/fontspec way to say this would be
\newfontfamily\urdufont[Renderer=Graphite]{Awami Nastaliq}
(You might also want to add the option
\XeTeXinterwordspaceshaping=1
to your document, for better word spacing results.)

XeLaTeX (in combination with Polyglossia) is not rendering the Awami
Nastaliq font properly. The letters in this font are being displayed
without being connected together. I haven't encountered this problem
with any other nastaleeq font. Nor have I seen this problem when
using Awami in word processors.
%demo.tex
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{urdu}
\newfontfamily\urdufont[Script=Arabic]{Awami Nastaliq}
