Q-2. Précis Writing and Title (25 Marks)
Suggested Titles:
  1. The Path to Inner Strength: Prayer, Friendship, and Fortitude
  2. Overcoming Human Fallibility and Adversity
  3. Faith and Resilience in the Face of Crisis
Précis:
Human beings are inherently fallible, and true self-acceptance is essential for personal peace. Before reacting blindly to crises driven by despair, individuals should pause to evaluate if their actions are productive. Facing troubles directly fosters resilience, revealing our true character. While seeking counsel from trusted friends alleviates burdens, human wisdom has its limits. Ultimately, prayer serves as the ultimate source of strength to endure profound hardships, as exemplified by the Nobel laureate Dr. Alexis Carrel, who witnessed the transformative, healing power of faith. By shifting focus from self-centered worries to the broader collective human struggle, individuals can confront adversity with dignity, wisdom, and courage.
Q-3. Translation: English to Urdu (12.5 Marks)
“The zeal with which our Revolutionary Governments is working night and day for the prosperity and well being of the country and its people is evident to every patriotic Pakistani. The rooting out of such anti-social activities as black-marketing, hoarding, profiteering and smuggling is now an old story. Side by side with the rehabilitation of refugees the government has introduced agricultural reforms, which have revolutionised our national economy. Our oppressed tenants who were groaning under the heel of the old estate or Jagir System, have now heaved a sigh of relief. The day is not far when their poverty and privations will give place to prosperity and leisure. In addition to this the many cultural and economic reforms are now under active consideration of the government and the educational reforms announced only recently go a long way to prove that our government is determined to promote the country in every direction.”
جس لگن اور جوش و جذبے کے ساتھ ہماری انقلابی حکومت ملک و قوم کی خوشحالی اور بہبود کے لیے رات دن کام کر رہی ہے، وہ ہر محب وطن پاکستانی پر عیاں ہے۔ چور بازاری، ذخیرہ اندوزی، منافع خوری اور اسمگلنگ (نوم چوری) جیسی سماج دشمن سرگرمیوں کا جڑ سے خاتمہ اب ایک پرانی بات ہو چکی ہے۔ مہاجرین کی بحالی کے ساتھ ساتھ حکومت نے زرعی اصلاحات متعارف کرائی ہیں، جنہوں نے ہماری قومی معیشت میں ایک انقلاب برپا کر دیا ہے۔ ہمارے وہ مظلوم مزارعین (کاشتکار) جو پرانے جاگیردارانہ نظام کے ظلم تلے پس رہے تھے، اب انہوں نے سکھ کا سانس لیا ہے۔ وہ دن دور نہیں جب ان کی غربت اور محرومیاں خوشحالی اور فراغت میں بدل جائیں گی۔ اس کے علاوہ، بہت سی ثقافتی اور اقتصادی اصلاحات اب حکومت کے زیرِ غور ہیں، اور حال ہی میں اعلانیہ تعلیمی اصلاحات اس بات کو ثابت کرنے کے لیے کافی ہیں کہ ہماری حکومت ملک کو ہر سمت میں ترقی دینے کے لیے پرعزم ہے۔

Q-4. Translation: Urdu to English (12.5 Marks)
“اے غریب الوطن بادشاہ کے رفیقو! تم دیکھتی ہو کہ ہم کیوں ہیں اور کہاں کھڑے ہیں۔ یہ دیس مصیبت کا ہے۔ افسوس ہم اس خطرے میں کیوں پڑے۔ وزارت ریمنڈ کی جانیں دیں تب امور دشمنوں کو نہیں کیا گیا۔ وہ لوگ تجربے لئے ہوئے ہیں۔ کہ روئے زمین کے سلاطین اس کی آرزو کرتے ہیں۔ بہادروں! دیکھتا ہوں کہ تمہارے دل ٹھک گئے ہیں۔ تم جانتے ہو کہ موت کے سامنے کوئی مضائقہ نہیں ہے۔ مگر دلوں کا گھٹنا غضب ہے۔ خدائے اکبر کے آگے ذرا بھی جھکائی پھر زمین و آسمان میں تھا ہی نہیں۔ دیکھو! تیمور کی تلوار جس نے زمین تہہ و بالا کی ہے، وہ تمہارے ہاتھ میں ہے، پھر خطرہ کس بات کا ہے۔ ہاں! وہ بات نہ ہو کہ یونانی سے روسیاہی کے داغ ملیں۔ جسم تک منڈنے اور ہڈیاں سب کی یہاں خاک ہوں، دیکھو! آخر مرنا ہے۔ اعمال مرنا۔ پھر مرنے سے کیا ڈرنا۔”
“O companions of the exiled king! You see what we are and where we stand. This is a land of adversity. Alas, why did we fall into this peril? Even when lives were sacrificed for Raymond’s ministry, matters were not surrendered to the enemies. Those people possess such experience that the monarchs of the entire world yearn for it. O brave souls! I see that your hearts have grown heavy. You know that there is no harm in facing death, but the sinking of hearts is a terrible tragedy. If there were even a slight bowing before the Almighty God, then nothing could hold you back in the earth or the heavens. Behold! The sword of Timur, which turned the world upside down, is in your hands; what peril is there to fear then? Indeed, let it not happen that we receive the stain of disgrace from the Greeks. Even if our bodies are mangled and the bones of us all turn to dust here—behold! Death is inevitable after all. Deeds endure, but we must die. Why then should we fear death?”
