🔵 TRANSLATE INTO ENGLISH (15 Marks)

✅ Some Important Topics

No.1

انسان اپنی تقدیر اپنے ہاتھ میں رکھتا ہے۔ وہ اسے اچھی یا بری قسمت میں بدل سکتا ہے۔ انسان محنت سے زندگی میں اعلیٰ مقام حاصل کر سکتا ہے۔ کبھی کبھی، وہ اپنی کسی بھی کوشش میں ناکام ہو جاتا ہے لیکن زندگی میں کامیابی اور ناکامی ساتھ ساتھ چلتی ہے۔ کامیابی ہمیں خوش کرتی ہے، ناکامی ہمیں سبق سکھاتی ہے۔ ہمیں سخت محنت کرنی چاہیے، اللہ محنت کا صلہ ضرور دیتا ہے۔

No.2

قائداعظم محمد علی جناح کو بیسویں صدی کے اہم ترین سیاسی رہنماؤں میں سے ایک کے طور پر جانا جاتا ہے۔ انہوں نے قیام پاکستان میں اہم کردار ادا کیا۔ اپنی قیادت کے ذریعے انہوں نے برصغیر کے مسلمانوں کو اتحاد، ایمان اور نظم و ضبط کے نئے جذبے سے متاثر کیا۔ ان کی جدوجہد اور عزم نے مسلمانوں کو ایک آزاد وطن حاصل کرنے میں مدد کی جہاں وہ اپنے عقائد کے مطابق زندگی گزار سکیں۔

No. 3

نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی ولادت مکہ میں ہوئی۔ اس کے والد اس کی پیدائش سے پہلے انتقال کر گئے تھے۔ ان کی والدہ حضرت آمنہ بھی چھ سال کی عمر میں انتقال کر گئیں۔ پھر اس کے دادا نے اس کی دیکھ بھال کی۔ دادا کی وفات کے بعد ان کی پرورش کی ذمہ داری ان کے چچا نے لے لی۔ چالیس سال کی عمر میں حضرت محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اعلان کیا کہ وہ اللہ کے نبی ہیں۔

No.4

دنیا تیزی سے تیسری عالمی جنگ کی طرف بڑھ رہی ہے۔ ترقی یافتہ اور کم ترقی پذیر ممالک ایک دوسرے کے آمنے سامنے ہیں۔ خدشہ ہے کہ ایٹمی ہتھیار ایک دوسرے کے خلاف جنگ میں استعمال ہوں گے۔ توانائی کے بڑے بحران ہوں گے اور غریب ممالک کو بہت نقصان اٹھانا پڑے گا۔ اقوام متحدہ کی تنظیم کو کسی بھی کشیدگی پر قابو پانے کے لیے فوری قدم اٹھانا چاہیے

No.5

تمام معاشرے اپنی ترقی کرنا چاہتے ہیں لیکن دنیا میں کامیابی چند ہی کو ملتی ہے۔ ان کی کامیابی کا انحصار ان کی تعلیم کی منصوبہ بندی پر ہے۔ حکومت تعلیم میں سرمایہ کاری کرتی ہے، اور اس کے بدلے میں اسے پڑھا لکھا عوام ملتا ہے۔ یہ عمل کو جاری رکھتا ہے، اور ایک تعلیم یافتہ حکومت قائم ہوتی ہے۔

No.6

حقوق اور فرائض ساتھ ساتھ چلتے ہیں۔ جب کوئی اپنا فرض ادا نہیں کرتا تو دوسرے کے حقوق پامال کرتا ہے۔ اسلام نے فرائض کی حدود متعین کی ہیں لیکن عموماً ان کی خلاف ورزی کی جاتی ہے۔ حکومت افسران سست ہو چکے ہیں اور عوام کی فلاح و بہبود پر توجہ نہیں دیتے۔ اس لیے عوام کے مسائل حل ہونے کے بجائے بڑھتے ہی جا رہے ہیں۔

No.7
مجھے کتاب پڑھنے کا بڑا شوق ہے۔ اس لیے میں اپنا زیادہ تر وقت کالج کی لائبریری میں گزارتا ہوں۔ میں گھنٹوں کتابوں کا مطالعہ کرتا ہوں اور دنیا کے عظیم علماء کے افکار کا مزہ لیتا ہوں۔ کبھی کبھی، میں سوچتا ہوں کہ طلباء کی اکثریت لائبریری میں کیوں نظر نہیں آتی؟ یہ جگہ کیوں چھوڑی ہوئی ہے؟ اگر طلباء میں پڑھنے کی عادت پیدا ہو جائے تو ہمارا ملک تیزی سے ترقی کرے گا۔

N0.8

شاعر مشرق علامہ اقبال 9 نومبر 1877ء کو ایک سادہ لوح درزی شیخ نور محمد کے گھر پیدا ہوئے۔ انکی قابلیت اور محنت خود ہی بولتی ہے۔ آج ہم انہیں ان کی شاندار اور متاثر کن آیات، ان کے پاکستان کے خواب، اللہ تعالیٰ سے ان کی محبت، سوئی ہوئی امت مسلمہ کو بیدار کرنے کے لیے ان کی لگن اور ایک مدبر وکیل کے طور پر یاد کرتے ہیں۔

No.9
قومی کردار کا پہلا حصہ حب الوطنی ہے۔یہ قومی مفادات کی خاطر ذاتی مفادات کو قربان کرنے کا جذبہ ہے۔ آزاد ملک کے شہری کو ہر کام کرنے سے پہلے سوچنا چاہیے کہ یہ قوم کے لیے فائدہ مند ہے یا نہیں۔ قومی کردار کا دوسرا اہم حصہ زندگی کے ہر شعبے میں ایمانداری اور انصاف سے پیش آنا ہے۔

No.10
صحت بہت بڑی نعمت ہے لیکن انسان اس کی قدر نہیں کرتا جب تک وہ صحت مند رہتا ہے۔ اسے اس کی اصل قدر کا اندازہ اس وقت ہوتا ہے جب اسے کوئی معمولی بیماری آتی ہے۔ جسم کے کسی حصے میں درد ہو تو پورا جسم اس سے متاثر ہوتا ہے۔ انسان کھانے، پینے، چلنے پھرنے اور کام کرنے میں اسی وقت لطف اندوز ہوتا ہے جب وہ صحت مند ہو۔ کسی چیز سے خوشی نہیں ہوتی جب کوئی بے ترتیب ہو۔ زندگی ان لوگوں اور ان کے رشتہ داروں کے لیے بوجھل ہو جاتی ہے جو اکثر بیمار رہتے ہیں۔

No.11

مجھے کتاب پڑھنے کا بہت شوق ہے، اس لیے میں اپنا زیادہ تر وقت کالج کی لائبریری میں گزارتا ہوں۔ میں گھنٹوں کتابوں کا مطالعہ کرتا ہوں اور دنیا کے عظیم علماء کے خیالات کا مزہ چکھتا ہوں۔ کبھی کبھی میں سوچتا ہوں کہ طلباء کی اکثریت لائبریری میں کیوں نظر نہیں آتی؟ یہ جگہ کیوں چھوڑی ہوئی ہے ؟ اگر طلباء میں پڑھنے کی عادت ڈالی جائے تو ہمارا ملک تیزی سے ترقی کرے گا۔

No.12

انسان اپنی قسمت اپنے ہاتھ میں رکھتا ہے۔ وہ اسے اچھا بنا سکتا ہے یا مار سکتا ہے۔ انسان محنت سے زندگی میں بلند مقام حاصل کر سکتا ہے۔ کبھی کبھی وہ کسی کوشش میں ناکام ہو جاتا ہے لیکن زندگی میں کامیابی اور ناکامی ساتھ ساتھ چلتی ہے۔ کامیابی ہمیں خوش کرتی ہے جبکہ ناکامی ہمیں سبق سکھاتی ہے۔ ہمیں محنت کرنی چاہیے۔ خدا محنت کا صلہ دیتا ہے۔

No.13
ہم سائنس کے دور میں جی رہے ہیں۔ دنیا کا ہر ملک سائنس میں ترقی کے لیے کوشاں ہے۔ انسان نے سائنس کو اچھے مقاصد کے لیے استعمال کیا ہے۔ انسان نے اس کی مدد سے بہت سی مفید چیزیں بنائی ہیں۔ لیکن انسان نے سائنس کو بھی برے مقاصد کے لیے استعمال کیا ہے۔ اس نے اس کی مدد سے بہت سے تباہ کن ہتھیار بنائے ہیں۔ ہر ملک چاہتا ہے کہ جدید ترین ہتھیار ہوں۔
