ڈاکٹرشہزاد احمد کی شاعری کا فنی جائزہ
سہل ممتنع
ڈاکٹرشہزاداحمد نعت خوانی سے نعت گوئی کی طرف مائل ہوئے ہیں۔ انھیں خیال آفرینی و مرصع کاری سے زیادہ ابلاغ کی فکر رہتی ہے۔ اس لیے وہ کلام میں سادگی کو اہمیت دیتے نظر آتے ہیں۔اُن کے کلام میں بھاری بھرکم تراکیب کی جگہ عام بول چال کے سادہ الفاظ ادائے مطلب کے لیے استعمال ہوئے ہیں۔ ان کی نعت کی مرکزی خصوصیت سہل ممتنع ہے جس کے بارے میں مولانا حسرت موہانی لکھتے ہیں :
’’سہل ممتنع سادگی وحسن بیان کی اُس صنف کا نام ہے جس کو دیکھ کر ہر شخص بظاہر یہ سمجھے کہ یہ بات میرے دل میں بھی تھی اور ایسا کہنا ہر شاعر کے لیے آسان ہے مگر جب کوشش کرکے ویسا لکھنا چاہے تو نہ لکھ سکے۔‘‘ (۲۴)
یہی سادہ اسلوب ہمیں ڈاکٹر شہزاد احمد کی نعت میں بڑے سلیقے سے برتا ہوا ملتا ہے۔ مثال میں دو شعر ملاحظہ ہوں:
آپ صرف اپنے محبوب کا
مجھ کو شیدا بنا دیجیے
پھر جہاں میں ہے تیرگی چھائی
اپنا جلوہ دکھائیے آقاؐ
غنائی لہجہ
شاعری میں موسیقیت نہ ہو تو کلام فصاحت سے کوسوں دُور رہتا ہے۔ موسیقیت کے لیے آواز کے زیرو بم کے استعمال سے واقفیت ضروری ہے۔ ڈاکٹر شہزاد احمد چوں کہ نعت خوانی سے بھی وابستہ ہیں۔ اس لیے اُن کے کلام میں غنائیت کا عنصر اوج پر ہے۔ پروفیسرنویدعاجز ؔ اس بارے میں یوں رقم طراز ہیں:
’’انھوں نے نعتیں محافل میں پڑھنے کے لیے لکھی ہیں، اس لیے اُن کی سب سے بڑی خوبی موسیقیت اور روانی ہے۔ ’’حبیبی یارسول اللہ، درودتم پر سلام تم پر اور بسم اللہ ‘‘ کی ردیف میں کہی گئی نعتیں مترنم لہجے کی حامل ہیں۔‘‘(۲۵)
ڈاکٹر شہزاداحمد کے کلام میں روانی اور مترنم لہجے کے اشعار کی کمی نہیں۔ چند مثالیں ملاحظہ ہوں:
Allama Shabbir Ahmed Uthmani was one of the prominent religious personalities who made efforts for islamization in Pakistan. So far as the major slogan in 1946 elections were to have a separate homeland of the Muslims where they may be able to live according to the Islamic values. It means Islam was the real power behind the struggle for Pakistan in 1947. After the making of Pakistan a religious scholar Allama Shabbir Ahmed Uthmani presented his services for isalmization in Pakistan as in this respect he had a unique role for the enforcement of Islamic system in Pakistan. Maulana Shabbir Ahmed Uthmani wants to see the constitution of Pakistan to be the leading document towards religious state. In this respect Allama Shabbir Ahmed Uthmani made critical efforts for designing the constitution of Pakistan which was finally approved by the Constitutional Assembly of Pakistan.
Education is conceived as the powerful instrument for bringing about desired changes in social and cultural life of the nation and the teacher being the key actor in educational process is considered as the change agent. The rapidly changing world is calling new ways of addressing school changes; Pakistan has also brought a lot of changes and reforms to address the educational problems and to keep pace with the fast changes in the field of science and technology. The purpose of this study was to analyze the attitude of the teachers towards reforms at school level in Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose, seventy two schools having equal number in gender and demographic level of urban and rural, comprising all categories of primary, elementary and secondary were selected through area cluster sampling technique. Survey method technique was applied and a questionnaire based on five-point Likert scale comprising sixty three items divided into five dimensions was developed.The tool was an adaptation of ASTTP (Hussain, 2004). The tool was got validated by experts‟ opinion and through calculating the Factor Loading and also by determining the Cronbatch Alpha. To analyze the data, arithmetic mean, percentage, standard deviation and t- test were calculated by using the computer programs; Ms-Excel and SPSS. It was concluded by the study that respondents showed much positive response towards the questions of administrative reforms, medium of instruction reforms and Chief Minister Roadmap reforms dimensions while, towards examination reforms and computer education reforms dimensions, respondents also showed positive attitude but with lower statistics. Qualifications wise analysis showed that as the degree of qualification of the teachers rises, the level of positivity of attitude is also rises against all dimensions and from this positive impact of reforms is also inferred. The comparison between urban and rural teachers showed that there is significant difference between the attitude of the respondents of the rural and urban areas and the respondents of the rural areas showed much better positive attitude against all dimensions of reforms. The gender wise comparison of the respondents reflected that female teachers had more significantly positive attitude towards all dimensions of reforms as compared to male teachers. Comparison between the teachers of all sections of the selected schools clearly indicated that attitude towards first three dimensions; Administrative reforms, Medium of Instruction reforms and Chief Minister Roadmap reform was much positive as compared to others two dimensions of examination reforms and computer education reforms. Through this study, it was recommended that in policy making or formulating any reform initiative, positive involvement of teachers‟ opinion must be ensured next time. Course outlines and methods of teaching of the teacher training institutions are revised according to trends of the modern era of globalized world. Indicators for the Chief Ministers‟ roadmap must be revised and fixed on the ground realities and on the disparity between rural and urban areas.
