محبوب کی یاد میں
اب تو آجا ساجن کہ ماحول ہے بڑا ساز گار
میری بے چین نگاہوں کو کب سے ہے انتظار
دل روتا ہے اور آنکھیں اشکبار رہتی ہیں
محبوب کے ملنے کا یہ بار بار کہتی ہیں
ہجر کی غمگین گھاٹیوں میں کب سے یہ رہتی ہیں
یہ پیاسی ہیں ہونا چاہیے اب تو دیدار
برسات کے موسم میں دل ملنے کی تمنا کرتا ہے
شمع کی خاطر پروانہ جان کی پرواہ نہ کرتا ہے
زندہ رہے یا مرجائے دکھ درد صبر سے وہ جرتا ہے
حضرت عشق کی منزل میں آتے ہیں دکھوں کے انبار
چاولہ سائیںؔ ساون کے مہینے میں گھٹا جب چھاجاتی ہے
دکھ درد کے ماروں کو محبوب کی یاد ستاتی ہے
قسمت والے ملتے ہیں بد قسمت سیج نہ بھاتی ہے
ملنے والے خوشیوں کا کرتے ہیں پرچار

Comprehension is the basic purpose of reading. The present study intends to explore the English reading comprehension proficiency of grade 10 students of Gilgit city specifically in terms of comparisons across gender, school system and parental qualification. The reading comprehension test developed by Arellano (2013) was adapted for the study in order to measure students’ level of comprehension.

The overall reliability of the tool was 0.88. The test was administered to a stratified random sample of 181 secondary school students enrolled for the academic year of 2014 to 2015. The selected sample consisted of male (n=103) and female (n=78) students from private (n=4) and public (n=4) schools, respectively. Inferential analysis was carried out to determine the statistical level of difference between the groups and the hypothesis was tested at the 0.05 level of significance.
