شاعرؔ صدیقی کی متفرق شاعری
حمد
یہ شعری ادب کی وہ صنفِ سخن ہے جس میں اللہ تعالیٰ کی تعریف بیان کی جائے ۔عطاء الرحمٰن نوری اپنی کتاب ’’اْردو اصناف ادب‘‘ میں حمد کی تعریف کرتے ہوئییوں لکھتیہیں:
’’حمد ایک عربی لفظ ہے جس کے معنی ’’تعریف‘‘ کے ہے۔اللہ کی تعریف میں کہی جانے والی نظم کو’’حمد‘‘کہتے ہیں‘‘(۱)
اردو کی دیگر اصنافِ سخن میں حمد کو بہت اہمیت حاصل ہے۔ حمد کا تعلق چوں کہ براہِ راست اللہ تعالیٰ کی ذاتِ گرامی سے ہے اس لیے اردو زبان کے شعرا نے حمد کو بڑی اہمیت دی ہے۔ اردو کے دیگر شعرا کی طرح شاعرؔ صدیقی نے بھی حمدیہ شاعری کی ہے۔ اُن کی حمدیہ شاعری اْن کی مذہبی عقیدت مندی اورجذبات کی عکاسی کرتی ہے۔اگر چہ اْن کا حمدیہ کلام اتنا زیادہ نہیں ہے تاہم جوبھی ہے وہ معیار کے لحاظ اپنی مثال آپ ہے۔شاعرؔنے خالق حقیقی کی ثنا وتوصیف بیان کرنے میں ہنر مندی کے ساتھ ساتھ اپنے عجز اور انکساری کا مظاہر ہ بھی کیا ہے۔شاعرؔکے حمدیہ اشعار خالق کائنات پرکامل یقین واعتماد کے مظہر ہیں۔ اْنہوں نے بڑی عقیدت مندی کیساتھ اپنے رب کی تعریف وتوصیف بیان کی ہے۔اللہ سے بے پناہ محبت وعقیدت کی یہ جھلک محض نظموں تک محدود نہیں بلکہ دیگر اصنافِ سخن یعنی قطعہ ،باعی،اور دوہے میں بھی پوری شان کے ساتھ نمایاںہے۔حمد لکھنے کے لیے جو علمیت اور مطالعہ اسلام درکا ہوتا ہے شاعرؔصدیقی اس سے خوب بہرور ہے۔
مناجات
کلیات کے آغازمیں مناجات شامل ہیں جس میں شاعرؔنے اللہ سے دل کی وسعت اور فکر کی گہرائی مانگنے کے ساتھ ایسی بینائی مانگنے کی دْعا کی ہے جو اللہ کے جلوؤں کو دیکھنے کی صلاحیت رکھتی ہو:
دل میں وسعت دے میرے فکرکو گہرائی دے
ساتھ جو دے تیرے جلووں کا وہ بینائی دے
میری تقدیر میں رسوائی...

Gender Roles Redefined in Bharati Mukherjee's Novels This qualitative study is based on theoretical paradigms of feminism and gender. Hence feminism is my research methodology whereas textual and discourse anylysis are used as research method. Taking postcolonial feminist perspective, Bharati Mukherjee’s two novels, Jasmine and Desirable Daughters, are analysed in the light of theories presented by Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler: two feminists and gender theorists. Beauvoir’s ideas such as women as the Other, existence precedes essence, one is not born but becomes a woman, emancipation of women, and art of living are applied to the text of the selected novels. Similarly, Butler’s concepts of gender performativity, gender as an act and gender as a choice are analysed. According to Beauvoir and Butler, gender is a process of construction by society and culture. Here Indian and American societies are focused to study gender roles. Attempt is made to point out various factors that lead towards change in gender roles. The women characters and their lives in two different cultures are given a very detailed scrutiny. Problems faced by the women in India and then in the immigrant world of America are highlighted. Mukherjee’s female protagonists pass through a series of transformations to find their identities. This study also reveals limitations on gender choice and the process of finding gender identity. Effort is made to prove that women can live independently as a subject by making choices and developing a moral self. Mukherjee’s female as well as male characters change their roles. Hence gender roles redefinition is explained through my research study. At first, by deriving principles from the theories of Beauvoir and Butler, research hypothesis is made. Then research questions are formulated to prove the research hypothesis. Related literature is reviewed in detail so as to provide validity and authenticity to my research. The selected theoretical principles are then applied to the texts of both novels to test the research hypothesis. Examples are taken from both novels and texts are analysed in the light of views presented by theorists and critics. Using inductive mode of research inquiry; giving examples at first, deductions are made at the end and on the basis of research findings, conclusion is drawn.
