So, lets start the process from the Pakistan.

Attestation of Documents from Pakistan Foreign Office

I am a living in Karachi, therefore, addresses are according to Karachi
 

English Version of Marriage Certificate OR Marriage Certificate issued by NADRA

We had the Urdu version of Marriage Certificate hence I first need to get the English Version of Marriage Certificate but if you have Marriage Certificate issued by NADRA then it will be enough because it already contains description in English and Urdu as well.

For the Translation of Marriage Certificate into English, I went to to Burns Road, Karachi.
Found the translator sitting with type writer, he filled the data on the Pre-formatted Marriage Certificate. That Pre-formatted was stamped with Notary Public Karachi He took Rs. 600/- for this.

English Version of Birth Certificate(s) for the children

Birth Certificate issue from Union Council in Karachi does already contains information in English, hence it was not required to be translated for my case (but if it does not contain information in English then it is also required to translated).

Attestation by Pakistan Foreign Office

Now for the attestation of document visit with the following documents to Pakistan Foreign Office.
Pakistan Foreign Office timings are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Business Days

• Translated Marriage Certificate OR Marriage Certificate by NADRA + Photocopy
• Original Birth Certificate issued by Union Council + Photocopy

Since I am living in Karachi therefore I went to  Pakistan Foreign Office, Block B Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi, Pakistan
When visiting must keep change money like Rs. 2, 5, 10 to purchase stamps.
Their they provided the some stamp at the cost of Rs. 2 or 5 or 10 and asked us to paste on the back of the original documents.
Submit these documents along with photocopies including copy of CNIC in the TCS Office on Nursery(Near to Blue Ribbon Bakery), Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi only.
At TCS Office, they accepted the documents and asked us that we will be acknowledged that when you can collect your documents back via Phone Call.

Attestation of Documents from Pakistan Embassy Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Now we have to attest the Original as well as the Photocopy from Pakistan Embassy Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Take the attested documents (by Pakistan Foreign Office) went to Pakistan Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
(The environment of Embassy was same like Pakistan Foreign Office, Protector Office, Passport Office Karachi. Same photocopier was there, same windows on which only one person was serving. Same)

You can get these Bank Voucher at the cost of 40 RM each from the Photocopier inside the Embassy.
