ساغر میں اک پھول کھلا ہے
سارا جنگل مہک اُٹھا ہے
ٹہنی ٹہنی سوکھ چلی ہے
پتّا پتّا خشک ہوا ہے
ہر سو تَنہائی کا عالَم
ہر کوئی تنہا تنہا ہے
شہر کی سڑکیں تو ٹھنڈی ہیں
لیکن میرا دل جلتا ہے
کیسی دہشت پھیل گئی ہے
انساں انساں سے ڈرتا ہے
جنگل ، گلشن ، ندیا ، طوفاں
ہم نے بھی کیا کیا دیکھا ہے!
سونے جیسے کھیت کھڑے تھے
بے موسم بادل برسا ہے
شعر نہیں یہ سننے والے
تو پھیکی غزلیں کہتا ہے
میری مانو اب سو جائو
جانے کب سے جاگ رہا ہے
This article exposes Updike’s use of the Qur’anic verses in his novel Terrorist. Apparently, the writer wants to investigate a Muslim terrorist’s mind, which causes him to launch deadly attacks against the American people. However, the results of Updike’s investigation are problematic and subjective. Updike seems to be a new Orientalist who manipulates the Qur’anic scripture to assert his mastery, neutrality and intolerance of Islam for non-believers. It proves that his presentation of Islam is based on stereotyped myths and lies. The narrator claims that the protagonist “Ahmad”, under the guidance of his religious teacher Sheikh Ahmed, inspired by the irrational and suppressed tone of the Qur’an, commits a suicide attack at Lincoln Tunnel but in the end, he is persuaded by his Jewish- school- councilor to discard this idea. Conclusively, it sounds that Updike fails to detach himself from his characters and misuses the Qur’anic verses to defend his pre-supposed ideology against Islam.
Study of Non-Standard Interactions in Rare Mesonic Decays The study of rare decays and search for new physics are entangled with each other. The importance of these decays highly increases if the decay products contain dineutrinos in theirnal state due to its theoretically cleanest nature. In this scenario, for detailed illustration, we will use the pure and semileptonic rare decays of pseudoscalar mesons with missing energy and study the role of NSIs on Br and non standard parametersqL andqR by using model-independent analysis. We investigate the long distance dominated (in the standard model) processes D+ s ! K+, D0 !0 and short distance dominated (in the standard model) D+ s ! D+ decays for the purpose of non-standard neutrino interactions (NSIs). The branching ratios of D+ s ! K+; D0 !0 and D+ s ! D+ decays are calculated in the framework of NSIs. The values of non- standard parametersuL ,dL anddL for = = e or are found. Analysis of NSIs are extended by incorporating the second and third generations of quarks. We investigate that why the only available non-standard parameter constraints in the literature areuL anddL ;and why we are unable tond bounds on non-standard parameters, pertaining to second and third generation, i.e.bL , sL ;cL andtL . Contrary to quark sector, in charged lepton sector, non- standard parameterseL , L and L , relevant to second and third generations, are good constraints. We investigate D+ s ! K+; D0 !0 and D+ !+ decays, in whichavor changing neutral current (FCNC) involve only up type quarks, i.e. c ?!u as an external particles and down type (d; s; b) quarks propagating in the loop. While in K+ !+, D+ s ! D+ and B0 s ?! B0 FCNC involves down type quarks, i.e. s ?! d as an external lines, and up type (u; c; t) quark propagating inside the loop. The comparative study of the processes is done to check the generation sensitivity of the parameters of NSIs. We show that the dominant and comparable contribution of NSI is due to the rst and second generation, i.e. (u; d) and (c; s) quarks, while contribution of (t; b ) quarks is highly suppressed at radiative level, which is contrary to the SM. Furthermore, We present the comparative study of semileptonic and leptonic decays of Ds;D(D ! l , D ! l l , D s ! K l+ l?(v ) along with D ! Ml l ; M =;K and; = e;) within the framework of R-parity violating Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The comparison shows that combination(i 0 ijq) and product couplings ( 0 qk0jq); contributing to the branching fractions of the processes D0 !+ ?; D+ ! l , D+ s ! l ; D0 ! K?e+ e; D s ! K l+ l?and D! l+ l?(both for = and 6= ), are either consistent or comparable with the existing experimental data, when calculating in the R-parity violating SUSY model. Hence the golden channel for the study of new physics is provided. Contrary to that, processes like D0 ! e+e?;D0 !?l+ , D+ !0l+ and D0 ! K?l+ are accommodated well in SM, but unfavorable for the study of new physics. We identify such type of processes in our analyses and single out the important ones, suitable for exploring in the current and future experiments.
