The paper of arabic one can attempt paper in the language of one's choice , be that English or Urdu.
It means that the subjective or descriptive questions can be attempted in English as well as in Urdu. However, the Short questions and essay always have to be attempted in arabic. now the translation part is left behind which can be done in ither of the two : Urdu and English. However , the common practice suggests that almost all the aspirants attempt the translation questions in Urdu. Even those , like me, who attempt the descriptive part in English , do the translation in Urdu. so , in short , one can see that the aspirants exercise their choice of the use of English or Urdu only while attempting the subjective/descriptive questions .
Let me explain question by question.
Paper A
Q. 1. MCQs
Q. 2. Short Questions. ( In Arabic)
Q 3-5. Here one has to attempt three questions of 20 marks each . These three subjective/descriptive questions can be attempted in English or Urdu depending on one's choice. But one thing needs to be kept in mind that if one is going to attempt these questions in Urdu then one has to do all three in Urdu and if in english then all three in English . Examiner would not appreciate it if one attempts one in English and others in Urdu or vice versa.

Paper. B.
Q. 1. MCQs
Q. 2. Short Questions ( In Arabic )
Q. 2. B. Short Essay ( in Arabic ).
Q. 3. Translation w.r.t context. In Urdu or English.
Q. 4. Translation plus meanings of underlined words. In Urdu or English.
Almost all the aspirants attempt Q#3 & Q#4 in Urdu.
Q. 5. A Question about some personality. In English or Urdu.
One should attempt the Q-5 in the language in which one has attempted the subjective part of Paper I .


Note. I again summarise that If you choose to do paper in English you have to do all question in English where there is choice of doing in English or Urdu. But translation Question one still can do in Urdu.
And if one chooses to attempt paper in Urdu then all questions in Urdu where there is choice of doing in English or Urdu.

Thanx tasawwaur for ur valuable information. Infact, i was asking about the reference to the context question. I have no doubt about the translation but as far the reference to the context, the language matter is confusing me as i want to do all subjective questions in english.

Tassawar Bro I heard this time Examiner put a restriction to must attempt the paper only in English. Is it true??

If true? then what will be the future of Arabic for those Aspirants who want to opt it only in Urdu. Waiting for your kind reply. Thanks

Brother it is absolutely true.
Now onward people should be careful about opting Arabic. Not only the examiner has prohibited from attempting the paper in Urdu but also the Translation passages were out of traditional syllabus.

Tassawur brother! I do not have any prior background of Arabic. Had never studied it. Would you advise me to opt for it? Plus, I cannot take any classes for it in order to learn Arabic. So considering my circumstances, what would be your advice?

Brother keeping in view your case , I won't recommend you to go for this subject. One is at the beck and call of the pen of the examiner. Arabic is too much risky now. And secondly the reward it gives is not worth taking the risk. I am left with my final attempt. Earlier I had 137 in 2010 and 140 in 2011. But for my final attempt I would give a second thought to my combination of optional subjects. Therefore , you should think about some other alternative.

In the above reply I guess I have answered to this query as well.

Thank you Tassawur brother. Yes you are right, Arabic could be very risky for me, considering my 'Zero Background' in it. Now no confusion. God bless you.
