English to Urdu: Arab Dhows General field: Other Detailed field: Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Source text - English The harbor was plentifully sprinkled with Arab dhows, in some of which, I believe, even at the present day, a few slaves are occasionally smuggled off to Persia and Arabia. It has always been a matter of great wonder to me how the navigators of little vessels find their way from port to port, as they do, without the aid of either compass or sextant, and how they manage to weather the terrible storms that at certain seasons of the year suddenly visit eastern seas. I remember once coming across a dhow becalmed in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and its crew making signals of distress, our captain slowed down to investigate. There were four men on board, all nearly dead from thirst; they had been without drink of any kind for several days and had completely lost their bearings. After giving them some casks of water, we directed them to Muscat (the port they wished to make), and our vessel resumed its journey, leaving them still becalmed in the midst of that glassy sea. Whether they managed to reach their destination I never knew.
Translation - Urdu بندرگاہ میں بہت ساری عرب دھاو (کشتیاں) بکھری ہویٗ تھیں، جن میں سے چند میں، مجھے یقین تھا، کہ موجودہ دور میں بھی، چند غلاموں کو کبھی کبھار فارس اور عرب سمگل کیا جاتا ہے۔ یہ میرے لئے ہمیشہ باعث حیرت رھا ہے کہ ان چھوٹے جہازوں کے نیوی گیٹرز ایک بندرگاہ سے دوسری بندرگاہ کا راستہ کیسے تلاش کر لیتے ہیں، جیسا کہ وہ کرتےآئے ہیں، بغیر کمپاس اور سکسٹینٹ کی مدد کے، اور وہ کیسے خوفناک طوفانوں کا مقابلہ کرتے ہیں جو سال کے مخصوص موسموں میں اچانک مشرقی سمندروں میں نمودار ہو جاتے ہیں۔ مجھے یاد ہے کہ ایک بار بحرھند کے وسط میں ایک دھاو کھڑی ہویٗ ملی، اور جس کا عملہ پریشانی کے اشارے کر رہا تھا، ہمارا کپتان تحقیقات کرنے کیلئے آہستہ ہوا۔ عرشے پر چار آدمی موجود تھے، جو پیاس سے نیم مردہ تھے؛ وہ کیٗ دنوں سے بغیر کچھ پئے ہوئے تھے اور اپنا رستہ مکمل کھو چکے تھے۔ انہیں پانی کی کچھ چوبی پیپے دینے کے بعد، ہم نے انہیں مسقط (جس بندرگاہ کی طرف وہ جانا چاہتے تھے)، کا رستہ بتایا، اور ہمارا جہاز اپنے سفر پر دوبارہ روانہ ہو گیا، انہیں اسی شیشے کے مانند چمکتے سمندر میں وہیں کھڑے چھوڑ کر۔ مجھے معلوم نہیں کہ وہ اپنی منزل تک پہنچنے میں کامیاب ہوئے یا نہیں۔
