Cantonese: Hoi Ngon Fong Wai Dui
Mardarin: Hai(3) An(4) Fang(2) Wei(4) Dui(4)

In arabic it would be حزام النجاة which is hazam al najaat Given that I speak a mix of Urdu/English, I would say just "Coast Guard." I really don't know how to say it, either. I guess there aren't too many life guards in Karachi. LOL. I don't even know what "Zindagi sarprast" means! Zindagi = life, but what's sarprast? Safe? |

yea, i took that out of a urdu dictionary. I think Hafiz is a more appropriate word.
I think Sarparast means warrior.
