غزل

 وہ عشتار دیوی کی معصوم داسی

 (سید ماجد شاہ)

 وہ عشتار دیوی کی معصوم داسی

 جو چنچل بھی تھی، خوبصورت بھی تھی

 اور مقدّس بھی تھی

 مرے ساتھ شوخی میں مصروف تھی

 اچانک سمندر میں لہریں اُٹھیں

 ایسی طغیانی آئی ، تلاطم ہوا

 کہ سنہری روئیں اس کے کندن بدن پر چمکنے لگے

 رات روشن ہوئی

 تھوڑے ڈھلکے ہوئے زاویے اس طرح سے مُدوّر ہوئے

 جیسے مینا چھلکنے کو تیار ہو

 اُس کی آنکھیں شفق بن کے جلنے لگیں

 میں ہی کیا

 وہ مِرا عکس جو اُس کی آنکھوں میں تھا

 سُرخ ہونے لگا

 میرے ہاتھوں کی بے تابیاں بڑھ گئیں

 ہاتھ جاگے تو جس طرح مضراب سے تار چھڑنے لگے

 سُر ملے تو قیامت کی سنگت ہوئی

 پھول کھلتے رہے، خوشبوئیں چار اطراف میں رقص کرتی رہیں

 اِک مقدّس اَلاؤ میں کچھ دیر تک ہم دہکتے رہے

 پھر ہوا اِس طرح

 جس طرح کہکشاں

 پھلجھڑی کی طرح منتشر ہو گئی

نقض امن میں ‘‘ف’’ سے شروع ہونے والے سات عوامل کا کردار

According to the certain teachings of al-Qur’ān mentioned at four different places (4: 1, 6: 98, 7: 189 and 39: 6), all humans have their origin in a single cell or soul. One of the objectives behind these proclamations is perhaps to ensure that the unity of humanity at large and of the Muslims in particular, is never to be compromised and that the differences existing among them are to be resolved through a process of mutual understanding on the basis of the notions derived from the al-Qur’ān (2: 213) and Sunnah. AlQur’ān and Sunnah acknowledge the human diversity, rather, describe it as a functional aspect of existence, but not as structural. Referring to the Quranic verse 5: 48, Allah would have made humanity a single people, but, His plan is to test them in whatever He has given to them, so they should emulate for virtues. The present article is an attempt to shortly describe the role of the seven crucial factors in disruption of peace, all starting with the Arabic alphabet fā, i. E., Fitnah, the false Fatāwā, Fujūr, Fakhr, Furqah, Fisq and Fasād, with the purpose of developing an overall religious harmony for strengthening the inner and the outer peace. These seven factors play significant role in disturbing the stability of society. The Islamic injunctions also stress that these factors should be avoided in order to live a righteous and peaceful life.

A Comparative Study of Personal Constructs of the Self, the Family, the World and the Future of Runaway, Abandoned Children and Controls

Runaway and abandoned children are considered to be among the most vulnerable sections of the population in industrialized societies. Socio-psychological factors associated with running away and abandonment have been well documented but not much work has been done to unravel the mental make-ups of these children that may be the cause of such behaviors. This study explored and compared the ways runaway, abandoned and home-living children view the self, the family, the world and the future. The sample consisted of 28 institutionalized runaway children; 40 abandoned children; and 50 home living children. The main research tool that was adapted for using with children having limited education was the Repertory Grid Technique. In addition to it School Children Problem Scale, and the Hand Test were also used. Results of the study showed that runaway children experience push from the familial abuse and neglect while they experience a substantial degree of pull towards the external world due to the accepting attitude of friends. The three groups appeared to be quite similar in their perceptions regarding self. Results also showed that majority of the runaway children had a vague or no idea of the future as opposed to home-living and abandoned children. More emotional and behavioral problems were reported by runaway children than home living and abandoned children. Findings of the study highlight the critical role played by the push and pull factors in running away as it has been illustrated by the case studies. Key words: grid technique, runaway children, abandoned children, cognitions.
