Part 3: Translation

Translate the following passage into Urdu (20 marks).

Elderly people have spent all their lives looking after their families. They have raised, supported and
made them able to live independently in society. They have taught their children values, courage and
motivated them to face challenges. When they need moral and physical support in their old age, is it
only the family’s responsibility to support them? Younger relatives want to give their elders the same
care as they received when they were little. However, this may not always be possible because of their
very busy lives.

In addition to this, there are circumstances when the family is not able to take care of their elders.
There could be financial problems, or they might require long-term medical care. In such cases, the
state may help towards their expenses or provide carers. After all, these individuals have worked and
paid taxes. They deserve respect and care both from their families and the government.

The decision to admit an elderly relative into a care home is a difficult one. It might start as a temporary
measure but as their health gets worse it might change into a permanent stay. Regardless of where the
elderly people live, the important thing is that they maintain regular contact with their family members.
