The study in hand is empirical in nature. It attempts to investigate the significance and the effectiveness of the 2semi-bilingual English to English and Urdu dictionary (EEUD) in catering the needs of the advanced learners of English in Pakistan. The study also explores the1purposes and the contexts of the use of semi-bilingual EEUD. Besides, the merits and demerits of the EEUDs, currently available in Pakistan form part of this research. The triangulation method of data collection has been used 3to find the answers to the research questions. The protocol study, similar in design applied by Diab (1990), has been used to find out different uses of semi-bilingual EEUD. Furthermore, following Hartman (1983), Kipfer (1985), Iqbal (1987), Diab (1990); two separate questionnaires have been used to collect information from four hundred advanced level learners of English and twenty-five teachers. Follow up interviews have also been conducted randomly as a supporting tool. In order 140to find the merits and demerits of the currently available semi-bilingual EEUDs, their review analysis has been provided. The analyses reveal that a large majority of the learners use semi- bilingual EEUD for a variety of purposes. They feel more at ease while using the semi- bilingual EEUD than any other type of dictionary. The learners use this type of dictionary as their first choice, and only in situations where they do not find the required information in the EEUD; they use other types of dictionaries, mainly the monolingual English to English dictionary. Unlike the learners of English, the teachers are divided in their opinion about the role and use of semi-bilingual EEUD. The documentary analysis of the existing dictionaries suggests that the currently available semi-bilingual dictionaries have certain drawbacks in their macro- and microstructures, which need to be improved to meet the needs of the learners and to come up to the level of standard lexicography. The research produces a model for the production of a perfect semibilingual EEUD which could fulfil the 67needs of the advanced level learners of English in Pakistan.

نہر کنارہ

نہر کنارہ

نہر کنارے بیٹھا ہوں میں
بہتا پانی دیکھ رہا ہوں
اُجلا پانی ، تیز روانی
سُرسُر ، سُرسُر کرتا جائے
میٹھے میٹھے گیت سنائے
نہر کنارے بوٹے سارے
ناچیں ، گائیں ، جھومیں ، جھولیں

طوطا ، چڑیا ، بلبل ، مینا
رنگ برنگی بولی بولیں
یہ کیسا پیارا منظر ہے
شام اُداسی لے کر آئی
یہ منظر بھی اک منظر ہے
میرا دیکھا بھالا منظر
خوف کا ہے اک کالا منظر

شام کے جاتے ، رات کے ہوتے
سارے بوٹے سو جاتے ہیں
تو پھر چاند نکل آتا ہے
میں اُس سے باتیں کرتا ہوں
میں جتنی باتیں کرتا ہوں

میں تیری باتیں کرتا ہوں
یوں ہی رات گزر جاتی ہے
اور سویرا ہو جاتا ہے
میں شب بھر ہوں نہر کنارے
میں دن بھر ہوں نہر کنارے
نہر کنارہ دنیا میری

Antecedents of “Quality of Work” in Islamic Perspective Through Mediating Effect of Perceived Job Performance

In most of service organizations particularly in Pakistan financial sector, employees have reduced their job performance and shortened quality of work due to many factors influencing them at workplace. This research study aims to explore such antecedents in view of Islam that can improve the quality of work in banking sector wherein mediating effect of perceived job performance has been tested. Model variables of this study have also been described in the Islamic perspective. Islam is complete religion in all respect and provides foundation for quality of work. Accuracy & beatification in work, discipline, sequence of tasks, impartiality, and Islamic job satisfaction, knowing ourselves and its link with knowing to our God are parts of quality of work and employees’ performance in the Islamic point of view.  The target population of this study covers 20,514 employees of banking sector working in capital cities of Pakistan. Data were collected via cross sectional approach from 380 desk and frontline officials of Public and private banks. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling techniques were used for data analysis. Findings of this research are demonstrated that job satisfaction and emotional intelligence are found the valuable antecedents of job performance and quality of work where employee’s job performance has been proved as a partial mediator between antecedents and quality of work. The two antecedents i.e. Job satisfaction, emotional intelligence of perceived job performance and quality of work have been supposed in this study to take as interpreters for the improvement of employees’ contentment and abilities in the working environment of banking sector. These are positively persuaded to job performance and quality of work. A practical exposure is offered by this research that organizational education about importance to employee’s satisfaction and emotional intelligence would be vital for achieving optimum results in this industry.

Condensed Heterocyclics from Aminoazoles

A method for the preparation of pyrazolo [3, 4-hl pyridines, i pyrazolo [1, 5-al pyrimidine and triazolo [1, 5-al pyrimidines from aminopyrazoles and amino triazoles was developed. 5-Amino-3- methyl-1-phenyl pyrazole when reacted with benzaldehyde give the Schiff base which on reaction with acetophenone gives the corresponding pyrazolo 13, 4-hJ pyrimidines (i). The reaction of 3- amino-4-cyanopyrazole under similar conditions gave nitrogen bridgehead 11, 5-al in the form of pyrazolo [1, 5-al-pyrimidines (ii) while 3-amino-triazole and 3-amino-5-phenyl-triazole also undergo cyclization to give the condensed systems, pyrazolo [1, 5-al pyrimidines (ii) and triazolo [1, 5-al pyrimidines (iii) in good yields. II and III were isolated as their dihydroproducts. The mechanism for the formation of these products is also proposed. The reaction products were characterized through their IR, PMR and mass spectra or elemental analysis. The products obtained from these reactions were also tested for antibacterial activity.
