ASSIGNMENT# 4
TRANSLATION AND RETRANSLATION OF TENSES
Passage#1:
Bribery and corruption have become a part of our society. These things are not related to a department
or a specific part of society. It seems to be a necessary component of every department and institution.
Life is not so easy anymore. The middle class has lost its way in order to follow rich people. We lose
a lot of time in getting the luxuries of life. The race to defeat others and to become rich is pushing the
society towards bribery and corruption.
معاشے ہمارے بدعنوان اور رشوت ر ر

Passage#2:
پہلے سے سب ہیں۔ مقاصد بنیادی دو کے تعلیم، جہالت کو لوگوں یہ، پرستی توہم، خیاالت غلط سے بہت اور عادتوں بری
کمانے روزی باعزت انہیں جو ہے کرتی فراہم تربیت وارانہ پیشہ یا ہنر کو شہریوں کے ملک یہ دوم ہے۔ دالتی نجات سے
اپنے آئین اگر ہے۔ ضروری تعلیم لیے کے مقاصد دونوں مذکورہ میں ملک آباد گنجان جیسے پاکستان گی۔ بنائے قابل کے
جمہوری ہی شہری یافتہ تعلیم صرف چاہیے۔ ہونی فیصد سو خواندگی شرح تو ہے دیتا ضمانت کی بہبود و فالح کی شہریوں
ہ سکتے کر استعمال پر طور مفید کو حقوق
There are two fundamental purposes of education. First, it frees people from ignorance,
superstition, bad habits, and many wrong ideas. Secondly, it provides citizens with skills or
vocational training, enabling them to earn a respectable livelihood. In a densely populated country
like Pakistan, education is essential for both of these purposes. If the constitution guarantees the
welfare of its citizens, then the literacy rate should be one hundred percent. Only educated citizens
can effectively utilize democratic rights.
Passage#3:
کہ نہیں یہ مطلب کا اس لیکن ہیں۔ چاہتے رکھنا تعلقات دوستانہ ہمیشہ سے ہمسایوں اپنے ہم ہے۔ ملک پسند امن ایک پاکستان
کہ چاہیے ہونا مضبوط اتنا ہمیں ہے۔ ضرورت کی رکھنے نظر پر پیش و گرد اپنے ہمیں جائیں۔ ہو غافل سے دفاع اپنے ہم
ہے۔ ضمانت کی امن ہی دفاع مضبوط میں دور موجودہ سکے۔ نہ بھی سوچ کا پہنچانے نقصان ہمیں کوئی
Pakistan is a peace-loving country. We always want to maintain friendly relations with our
neighbors. But this does not mean that we should become neglectful of our defense. We need to
keep an eye on our surroundings. We should be so strong that no one can even think of harming us.
In the present age, a strong defense is the guarantee of peace.
Passage#4:
بیماری معمولی کوئی اسے جب کرتا۔ نہیں قدر کی نعمت اس ہے رہتا تندرست تک جب انسان لیکن ہے۔ نعمت بڑی تندرستی
محسوس اثر کا اس جسم پورا تو ہو درد میں حصے کسی کے جسم ہے۔ ہوتا اندازہ کا اہمیت کی اس اسے تو ہے جاتی لگ
پینے کھانے اسے تو ہے مند صحت انسان اگر ہے۔ کرتا، ہو خراب صحت ہے۔ آتا مزہ میں کرنے کام اور پھرنے چلنے
دوسرے کے ان اور لیے کے ان خود زندگی کی ان ہیں رہتے بیمار اکثر لوگ جو آتا۔ نہیں مزہ میں چیز کسی تو جائے
ہے۔ جاتی بن جان بال و لیے کے متعلقین
Health is a great blessing. But as long as a person remains healthy, he does not appreciate this
blessing. When he catches even a minor illness, he realizes its importance. If any part of the body is
in pain, the whole body feels its effect. If a person is healthy, he enjoys eating, walking, and
working. If health deteriorates, nothing seems enjoyable. People who are often sick find their life
burdensome for themselves and their loved ones.
