کالج کی یادیں
کالج کی یادیں آتی ہیں
یہ رہ رہ کر تڑپاتی ہیں
جب کالج جایا کرتے تھے
ساجن ، بیلی مل جاتے تھے
اک دوجے کو چھیڑا کرتے
لڑتے جھگڑا بھی کرتے تھے
موجیں تھیں مستی کرتے تھے
پڑھتے تو مزہ بھی آتا تھا
پھر باتوں میں لگ جاتے تھے
اپنی دنیا میں رہتے تھے
نہ کسی کی پروا کرتے تھے
سب کیفے جایا کرتے تھے
سب مل کر کھایا کرتے تھے
اک پاکٹ سے بل جاتا تھا
پیزا ، برگر اور بریانی
ہم سب کا چسکا ہوتا تھا
پھر نکڑ والے ہوٹل سے
چائے بھی جا کر پیتے تھے
اکثر ایسا بھی ہوتا تھا
ہم چھوڑ کلاسیں دیتے تھے
پورا کالج گھوما کرتے
چپہ چپہ چھانا کرتے
بازار کہاں کے ہیں جو ہم
نہ سبھی مل کر گھومے ہوں گے
کتنے لیکچر چھوڑے ہم نے
کتنے سگنل توڑے ہم نے
سب یاد مجھے اب آتا ہے
نہ کبھی ہم نے جو سوچا تھا
وہ وہ اب میں نے سوچا ہے
دفتر سے اب فرصت ہی نہیں
میں اکثر سوچا کرتا ہوں
دفتر میں جب تھک جاتا ہوں
وہ باتیں ذہن میں لاتا ہوں
وہ یادیں ذہن میں لاتا ہوں
پھر تازہ دم ہو جاتا ہوں
لیکن اتنا کافی تو نہیں
سب یار کہاں سے لائوں میں
ڈھونڈوں میں اُن کو کہاں جا کر
وہ دن یاد بہت آتے ہیں
اور رہ رہ کر تڑپاتے ہیں
Peace has great importance both for the individual and the communal life. Wherever peace turned into unrest, the tendencies of social violence, mental sickness and insecurity start developing amongst the people. Peace and harmony were the hallmark of the reign of the 2nd caliph, Haḍrat ‘Umar. He gave the best governing mechanism to the people of Arab, when they were not fully aware of rules & regulation of government. Though the empire was wide spread, he exercised a great sort of command & control on it. He took the responsibility of providing his subjects their basic needs: Food, Shelter, Education, Peace and Justice. This was not only an ideal system of its time but became the role model for the modern welfare state. Peace and harmony is as important for a state as food & air are for life. Allāh has strongly emphasized in The Holy Qur’ān" on two things i. E., "Disharmony & hunger" which should be eliminated from a society. Haḍrat ‘Umer during his reign of 10 years presented Islām as a religion of peace & harmony, a religion, which respects humanity, peacefully resolves disagreements and curtails misuse of power. He himself possessed the qualities of peace & harmony to an utmost level, which were the traits of our Holy Prophet’s (ﷺ) personality. It is important to follow the Khilāphah of Haḍrat ‘Umar to bring peace & justice in the society.
Traditional uses of plants have been found since the time of antiquity. Their medicinal use has got attention of modern day researchers due to easy availability, less cost and negligible side effects.Sustained hyperglycemia causing diabetes and its complication is implicated by free radicals and AGEs leading to oxidative stress, damages different cell components. In the present study desert plants of Cholistan were selected including Boerhavia repens, Cleome brachycarpa vahl.ex.DC, Cymbopogon jawarancusa, Dipterygium glaucum, Prosopis cineraria and Fagonia indica as these were found to be unexplored. Preliminary phytochemical screening exhibited strong presence of saponins, steroids and alkaloids except C. brachycarpa vahl.ex.DC. P. cineraria and C. jawarancusa showed considerable presence of flavonoids which was further confirmed by quantitative analysis of plants for crude flavonoids contents. Saponins were found to be maximum for F. indica and alkaloids in C. jawarancusa. Extract yield (%) was found to be maximum for D. glaucum aqueous extract and P. cineraria methanolic extract. Highest amount of total phenolics were found in F. indica aqueous extract and P. cineraria methanolic extract. When antioxidant activities were determined by reducing power assay, maximum activity was shown by aqueous extract of P. cineraria and F. indica methanolic extract expressed as mmol of AAE/g dw of extract. Aqueous and methanolic extract were analyzed for inhibition of lipid peroxidation in linoleic acid system and maximum activity was shown by F. indica aqueous as well as methanolic extractat maximum concentration. EC50 was calculated and aqueous extract of C. jawarancusa was most effective while methanolic extract of F. indica was found to be more potent antioxidant. Significant inhibition of free radical scavenging by DPPH method was exhibited for all plant extract with maximum value for F. indica aqueous extract and minimum by B. repens .Whereas methanolic extract of P. cineraria exerted maximum inhibition and it was also found to be most effective when EC50 was calculated. All these methods were performed to have a comprehensive over view of plants antioxidant activities. Rate of glycation was found to be increasing with increasing temperature. Glycation level quantification by TBA method and all tested plants were reported for maximum glycation level at first week of incubation. P. cineraria methanolic extract was noted for maximum inhibition of glycation and D. glaucum for minimum response at 37°C. At 50°C P. cineraria and F. indica were reported for minimum glycation level at 2nd week of incubation. Appreciable inhibition was observed by P. cineraria, C. jawarancusa and C. brachycarpa vahl ex DC at third week of incubation and minimum glycation inhibition was exerted by F. indica. All plants were found to be considerable antioxidant and antiglycation agent but P. cineraria and F. indica conferred highest antioxidant and antiglycation activities. The potential for these activities may be explained in term of high total phenolic contents, flavonoid contents and rich saponins of F. indica attributing towards medicinal properties.
