منظوم خراج تحسین
ڈاکٹر شہزاد احمد ہیں فدائے مصطفی
از ازل تا بہ ابد ہیں یہ گدائے مصطفی
نعت کے شعبے میں ان کی اس قدر خدمات ہیں
عاشق سرکار ہیں! گویا نوائے نعت ہیں
ایک دن ہم نے سنی ان سے یہ پیاری سی نوید
ان سے وابستہ ہوئے ہیں حضرت شفقت فرید
دھیمی دھیمی سی مسلسل ان کی جو پرواز ہے
ان کے کاموں پر بھی اب کچھ کام کا آغاز ہے
’’ایم فل‘‘ ان پر ہوا ہے منفرداور کامیاب
کام یہ شفقت میاں نے کر دیا ہے لاجواب
ڈاکٹر شہزاد احمد کو مبارک ہو یہ کام
حضرت شفقت کو ہو اس کام پر میرا سلام
اوج پائے یہ مقالہ آپ کا شفقت فرید
ہے لب خاکی پہ اتنی سی دعا شفقت فرید
عزیزالدین خاکی
Among the amazing variety of forms of poetic expression by the folk of the Punjab region, this essay has selected three genres: mahiya, dhola and jugni. The study is meant to compare these three genres of Punjabi folklore, in their evolution, structure, expression and themes. The study finds that the three genres are very old in time origin and tracing their exact origins in history is impossible, only few hints are available. Their structures are variable, as mahiya has a fixed structure, dhola has rather loose structure giving more freedom to the singer-poet, and jugni has a specific meter in certain lines, but it has freedom to repeat some lines for perfect expression of the melody. The structures in fact follow the tunes, distinct for each genre. Three genres have many themes common, but jugni has spirituality as dominant theme, dhola has expression of love as dominant them and mahiya has now become quite inclusive, but it originated as expression of love and it still retains that character in its core. The folk heart of Punjab has endeared these three genres so much that these are appreciated far and wide in original tunes, but new experiments of tunes and themes are also underway. Being a true mirror of simple unsophisticated villagers these folk songs would lose popularity if these villagers become sophisticated hence the need for their preservation is highlighted in this study.
Hybrid human resource management system (exhibiting strong mechanism for cultural accommodation without loss of ‘identity’) is discovered in Shifa International Hospital as diffused Human Resource Management model (based on individualism, democratic relationship and gender egalitarianism) has been adopted to organize Pakistani workforce according to international standards. This thesis argues that Shifa system is working on synergistic approach while considering indigenous assumption of employee relations, besides international standards of employee management. This thesis identifies that the prevailing employee management practices exhibit plural characteristics reflecting both foreign and local traits as a resultant of the confluence of local (collective self - identification, in equality and gender segregation) and North American cultural values (individualism, equality, and gender egalitarianism). This research has also uncovered that embedded assumptions of obligatory relations fairly influence the execution of impersonal HR policy in Shifa through internal and external interventions. It finally, depicts hybrid organizational culture reflecting both local and foreign traits as a continuum of individualism-collectivism, equality-inequality and gender differentiation- egalitarianism.
