سرمنڈل کاراجہ
سرمنڈل کا راجہ ناطق کی نظموں کا تیسرا مجموعہ ہے۔اس کتاب کو پڑھنے کے بعد قاری کے دل میں جو تاثر رہ جاتا ہے وہ کچھ ایسا ہے کہ جب وہ اپنی ایک نظم کے بعد دوسری نظم لکھتے ہیں تو گویا ایک منزل پالی اور دوسری منزل کی طرف گامزن ہوجاتے ہیں۔ایسا محسوس ہوتا ہے کہ وہ کوئی فتح حاصل کرنا چاہتے ہیں ایک ایسا قلعہ ایک ایسا پہاڑ سر کر لینا چاہتے ہیں جس کی بلندی تک پہنچتے پہنچتے خود ناطق راستے میں آنے والی ہر مشکل کو بھی جیسے خوش دلی سے سراہ رہے ہوں۔ سرمنڈل کا راجہ میں وہ دیسی رنگ ڈھنگ کا اظہار کرتے ہوئے نظر آتے ہیں۔نظمیں پڑھتے ہوئے قاری کو پنجاب کی مٹی کی سوندھی سوندھی خوشبو بھی محسوس ہوتی ہے۔یقین سے باہر لگتی ہے یہ بات کہ ایک شاعر نے پنجاب کا ایسا رنگ تخلیق کیا ہے۔اس پر زیف شاہ اظہار خیال کرتے ہوئے لکھتے ہیں :
’’ناطق کی نظم کا بیج مٹی میں ضرور ہوتا ہے لیکن نظم اوپر اور اوپر اٹھتے اٹھتے جاودانی آسمانوں کی وسعتوں سے ہم آہنگ ہوکر آفاقی اسطورہ بن جاتی ہے جسے آپ غیر فانی اساطیر کے پہلو میں دیکھ سکتے ہیں۔‘ ‘(6)
کتاب قاری پر ایک خوشگوار تاثر چھوڑ جاتی ہے۔پنجاب سے محبت اس کی مٹی کی خوشبو کے ساتھ ساتھ قاری خود کو پنجاب میں چلتا پھرتا محسوس کرتا ہے۔وہ کوئی فتح حاصل کرنا چاہتے ہیں۔ اس کتاب کے پڑھنے پر قاری کے دل و دماغ میں یہ بات نقش ہو جاتی ہے۔

Islam is a religion of Nature that covers all aspects of life and guides human being to right path amid ups and downs in one’s life. But Human intellect and comprehension have limited capacities which can understand conditions or benefits of any situation or commodity for the time being. On the other hand, teachings of the Qurʻan and Sunnah are framed in accordance with the nature of human being and since Allah Almighty is the Creator of the entire Universe including the Nature so Allah had commanded to lead life in light of the His divinely inspired principles to get real success. Concept of Halal and Haram plays central role in evolving or driving attitude of a consumer with Islamic ideology. In the prevalent worldly economic system which mainly focuses on means as to how quickly satisfy desires and demands of a consumer irrespective of concept of Halal and Haram. In this context, if a consumer finds more satisfaction in having one glass of wine than milk, the consumer in question would opt for wine and would consider him or herself as successful after having his desires met within his available resources. Moreover, this particular attitude of the same consumer would be called rational act and logical because he or she gets more satisfaction, he or she was struggling or longing for. While Islam focuses on real welfare and success of an Islamic principles-inspired consumer. The consumer with Islamic belief would prefer to get real success here and hereafter by following teachings of Islam which provide for carrying out commandments of Allah
