Translate the following paragraph into Urdu.

One evening in January a well-groomed young man having walked up Davis Road to the Mall
turned to the Charing Cross. His hair was sleek and shining and he wore side burns. His thin moustache
seemed to have been drawn with a pencil. He had worn a brown overcoat with a cream coloured half
opened rose in his button hole and a green flat hat which he wore at a rakish angle. A white silk scarf
was knotted at his neck. One of his hands was slipped into a pocket of his overcoat while in the other he
held a short polished cane which every now and then he twirled jauntily. (10)
As the evening advanced the cold became more intense. It was cold that induced people to seek
comfort in pleasure. At such times it was not only profligate who ranged abroad, but even those who
were usually content with their loneliness, emerged from their hide-outs to join the gaiety of the
streets. And so, people converged on the Mall where they amused themselves among the variety of
hotels, restaurants, cafes and snack bars, each according to his means. Those who could afford the
pleasures inside were content to gaze at the coloured lights and brilliant advertisements outside. (10)
