Baahir is the correct pronunciation but "i" has a short vowel sound. Like Arabic, short vowel are not written in Urdu, so any one reading Urdu can pronounce a word differently. Baahir and Baahar are written as "باہر ". The pronunciation baahar is wrong. Bahaar (بہار), as you wrote, is the spring season. Similarly the pronunciation "mausam" is correct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8lb2CQ6xzA
