دیوانِ یونس فریدی
حمد و نعت
صد شکر سوچ میری بھی تبدیل کچھ ہوئی
صد شکر میرے دل کو بھی ارمانِ نعت ہے
ٰ
حمد
وہ ہے قادر، نہیں ہے اس میں کلام
اُس کے محتاج سب خواص و عوام
وہ سجھائے کمال کی جہتیں
ہے نا! انسان ہر لحاظ سے خام
جا رہا ہے ہر ایک مر کر بھی
باندھ کر جسم پر سفید احرام
ڈھانپ لے گی گناہ گاروں کو
رحمتِ ذوالجلال والا کرام
اے خدائے کریم! یونسؔ پر
رہے قائم سدا ترا انعام
نعت
منبعِ جود و سخا ہے، اُنؐ کی ذات
بے نواؤں کی نوا ہے اُنؐ کی ذات
اُنؐ کی آمد پر ہوا حق کا ظہور
مظہرِ نورِ خدا ہے اُنؐ کی ذات
امتوں میں اُنؐ کی امت ذی وقار
تاج دار انبیا ہے اُنؐ کی ذات
دیدہ ور ہو، آزما کر دیکھ لو!
آج بھی جلوہ نما ہے اُنؐ کی ذات
کیا کرے یونسؔ کوئی اُنؐ کی ثناء
عقل سے بھی ماورا ہے اُنؐ کی ذات

آمدِ خیرالوریٰ، صد مرحبا
خود خدا محو ثنائ، صد مرحبا
نعت گوئی میں ہمارے مقتدی
طائران خوش نوا، صد مرحبا
جن و انساں وجد میں ہیں اک طرف
اک طرف ارض و سما، صد مرحبا
ہے فرشتوں کی زباں پر آج بھی
مرحبا صلی علی، صد مرحبا
ز
اگر درپیش کوئی مسئلہ ہو
نظر سوئے درِ خیرالوریٰؐ ہو
اجل بھی رشک سے دیکھے گی مجھ کو
زباں پر اُس گھڑی یا مصطفٰےؐ ہو
ملے اِذنِ زیارت، اور پھر
وفور شوق میں دل...
Mothers-in-law play an integral role in promoting maternal and child health practices in rural Pakistan. This study discusses the design, implementation, and evaluation of a 25- episode radio drama featuring the mother-in-law as the primary influencer for maternal and child health practices. The radio drama was designed after an extensive pre-drama audience research comprising of 10 focus groups, and 14 in-depth interviews in Bagh and Mansehra. Post-drama evaluation comprised two focus groups in the target areas. The endline evaluation found that viewership of the drama improved communication between people of all age groups and social roles without offending their dignity, intelligence, and sense of tradition. Additionally, the findings showed that the audience demonstrated improvement in knowledge about danger signs for mother and child, as well as positive attitudes to seeking timely service from a trained healthcare provider. The study makes a contribution to existing health communication campaigns by introducing a culture-centric approach, through radio dramas, to influence mothers-inlaw and consequently impact maternal and child health practices.
Delay and Energy Efficient TDMA Based MAC Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks Efficient energy consumption in wireless sensors is one of the major constraints in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Multiple contention-based and contention free Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols are designed to make them energy efficient. Sensor nodes are generally deployed in large number where contention based MAC protocols do not perform well due to increased chances of collision. In such scenario, contention free MAC protocols are preferred over contention based MAC protocols. Performance in terms of energy, delay and throughput are not adequate in most of the WSN applications. In this work, we proposed a couple of bit map assisted TDMA based MAC protocols for hierarchical wireless networks named as BS-MAC and BESTMAC. In addition to this, we suggested a modification in IEEE 802.15.4 standard, which enhances its performance without compromising on existing parameters. Both BS-MAC and BEST-MAC are designed for adaptive traffic flow and the main contribution of both of these protocols is that: (a) it uses small size time slots. (b) the number of those time slots is more than the number of member nodes. (c) Short node address (1 Byte) to identify member nodes. These contributions help to handle adaptive traffic loads of all network members in an efficient manner. In BS-MAC, Shortest Job First algorithm is applied to minimize network delay and to enhance the link utilization. However, in BEST-MAC, Knapsack algorithm is used to schedule time slots in an efficient manner to minimize the network delay and better link utilization. In addition to this, scalability is included to adjust new nodes in the mid of a TDMA round. Simulation results show that both BS-MAC and BEST-MAC perform better than the existing TDMA based MAC protocols. An efficient superframe structure for IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer is also proposed in this work. In this superframe structure, Contention Free Period (CFP) precedes the Contention Access Period (CAP) and more number of slots are used in the same CFP as of original 802.15.4 standard. The standard operates in three different frequency bands as 868MHz, 915MHz and 2400Mhz. As CFP precedes the x CAP, the communication delay for the CFP traffic is exceptionally reduced. The Beacon frame is fine-tuned to achieve the above said superframe structure and makes it backward compatible with the original standard. Due to large number of small slots in CFP, smaller amount of data requesting nodes can be assigned CFP space for communication. The analytical results show that our proposed superframe structure has nearly 50 % less delay, accommodates almost double the number of nodes in CFP and has better link utilization compared to the original 802.15.4 standard during all three frequency bands.
