ﷺ
میں صحنِ دل کے پت جھڑ کو ، بہارِ جاوداں کر لوں
محبت جانِ عالمؐ کی ، اگر روحِ رواں کر لوں
غم و آلامِ دنیا سے ، ذرا سا بھی جو گبھرائے
تو یادِ مونسِ جاںؐ سے ، میں دل کو شادماں کر لوں
سجائی بزمِ عالم ؛ جنؐ کی خاطر ؛ خالقِ کُل نے
اُنھیؐ کا ذکر کرنے کو ، میں بزمِ دوستاں کر لوں
سمائی نکہتِ بادِ بہاری میں مہک جنؐ کی
اُنھیںؐ سے خوشبوئیں لے کر میں دل کو گلستاں کر لوں
یہی سالک کو لے کر جا رہا ہے منزلِ حق پر
اسی نقشِ قدم کو چوم کر ، منزل نشاں کر لوں
اِدھر کر لوں زبانِ اشک سے عرضِ تمنا بھی
اُدھر چشمِ تصور میں سنہری جالیاں کر لوں
ادب گاہِ عقیدت میں کہاں الفاظ جچتے ہیں
’’طریقہ سب سے بہتر ہے کہ اشکوں کو زباں کر لوں‘‘
دلِ بے تاب کے لمحات اُنؐ کی یاد میں گزریں
جہانِ رنگ و بُو میں کیوں انھیں میں رائیگاں کر لوں
دلِ فرقت زدہ عرفانؔ! اُنؐ کے ذکر سے خوش ہو
میں صبح و شام اُنؐ کے نام کو وردِ زباں کر لوں
Great lineage, good manners, trustworthiness, sincerity, courage and bravery, obedience, generosity, modesty, humility, thankfulness, absolute trust in Allah, education and upbringing, affection and compassion towards the elderly, the youth, slaves and animals, the regard for truth, the endurance and patience etc. Are such features that at them neither was the match for the Holy Master (saw) born, nor will any such person be ever born. In addition, let alone friends, his enemies were helpless to hold him as-Sadiq (the Truthful) and al-Ameen (the Trustworthy) due to these and many other great attributes; and they would say: Muhammad is not a liar at all, but we can’t believe in him as a prophet sent by Allah. Moreover, even a non-Muslim or polytheist has never criticized his character to this day, nor will anybody do till the judgment day. Whenever the greatest personalities of the world were listed or somebody committed to writing on the said topic, the Holy Prophet (saw) remained at the top of the list. Drawing of the swords of father and son against each other, the change of the standard of friendship and enmity, fighting of master and his slave against each other, chanting the slogan of Ahad-Ahad (the only One, the only One) on the blazing sand, giving priority to martyrdom over the utterance of a word of unbelief, taking a husband away from his wife and separating a mother from her infant, deforming the condition after a blasphemous blow on the blessed face, forced migration to Habsha (Abyssinia) at times, and laying siege to Shb-e-Abi Talib (the valley of Abi Talib) at times.
The stigmatic predicament of domestic violence against women (DVAW) is quite common in Pakistan. The knowledge generation and technological advancements have by and large degenerative with respect to DVAW; since the negative forces and stratagems are overwhelmingly dominating the preventive and the preemptive strategies and enactments. Pakistan is no exception, the issue is embracing, most tiers of the society like an octopus, though the degree and outlook could vary from culture to culture. Here, in termsof trend projection, around 30 % to 40 % of victims lament some sort of violence against them. With this conceptual understanding in mind, the present study was undertaken; and six districts of the province of Punjab (Pakistan) were selected. The quantitative and qualitative data were collected through the instruments of the questionnaire, FGDs, and Expert Interviews. The Chi-square test was also applied to determine the significance of relationships between various variables. Consolidating the findings of all the survey instruments, one must ascertain that the issue of DVAW in Pakistan is heinous and needs serious redress at multiple levels especially the government, community, NGOs and the media. The victims are generally suffered at the hands of social,economic and legislatory setback. These setbacks could be phrased in terms of lack of education, poor economic standing and Pakistani male-chauvinism where the cushion being the hollow legislation and ceremonial implementation thereof. As the saying goes,„tries die from the top‟, the provincial government needs to play its due role and come forward with a „bold legislation‟ and a „blind implementation‟that can bull-doze any force that can potentially emerge as manipulative rather exploitative; and the remaining machinery of the country would naturally dog after it; where the principal components of the machinery include the local governments, NGOs and the media. If not, the central government would be an accomplice to the forces and entities that practically render and declare, „frailty thy name‟s woman.‟ (Shakespeare)
