میں ساحل سمندر پر جانے کا منصوبہ بنا رہا ہوں. |
(Mei sahil e samundar per janay ka mansuba bana raha hun. ) |

First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you doing for Pakistan Day?” |
That's: |
آپ یوم پاکستان کے لئے کیا کر رہے ہیں؟ |
(Aap youmay Pakistan ky liye kia ker rahay hain? ) |
This day celebrates the Pakistan Resolution, which was passed in Lahore on March 23, 1940. |

(Aap youmay Pakistan ky liye kia ker rahay hain? , Aap youmay Pakistan ky liye kia ker rahay hain? ) |
This Urdu sentence literally translates as “You Pakistan Day for what doing?” But it means “What are you doing for Pakistan Day?". |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
The pattern is: |
میں [plan] کا منصوبہ بنا رہا ہوں. |
(Mei [plan] ka mansuba bana raha hun.) |
This Urdu sentence translates as "I am [plan] of planning." But it means "I’m planning to [plan]." |

(Mei sahil e samundar per janay ka mansuba bana raha hun. , Mei sahil e samundar per janay ka mansuba bana raha hun. ) |
