ﷺ
ناموسِ گدائی نہ گنوا ، اور بھی کچھ مانگ
’’اب تنگیِ داماں پہ نہ جا اور بھی کچھ مانگ‘‘
بے پایاں ہے اُس در کی عطائوں کا تسلسل
بے مثل ہے اُس در کی سخا ، اور بھی کچھ مانگ
دریائے سخاوت ہے رواں روزِ ازل سے
رکتی ہی نہیں موجِ عطا ؛ اور بھی کچھ مانگ
خود دستِ عطا بڑھتا ہے محتاج کی جانب
اس شان کا آقاؐ ہے ترا اور بھی کچھ مانگ
اسباب کی دنیا کو کیا ایسا مسخّر
صحراؤں نے قلزم سے کہا ’’اور بھی کچھ مانگ‘‘
محدود ہے صحراؤں کی وسعت؛ نہیں محدود
اُس رحمت عالمؐ کی گھٹا ؛ اور بھی کچھ مانگ
جس شمعِ حرمؐ نے کیا دنیا میں اُجالا
دل کے لئے لے اُس سے ضیا اور بھی کچھ مانگ
خالق کی عطاؤں سے عطاؤں کے وہ قاسمؐ
خالق کی عطا ؛ اُنؐ کی عطا ؛ اور بھی کچھ مانگ
ہر بار صدا آتی ہے دربارِ سخا سے
عرفانؔ! لگا اور صدا ، اور بھی کچھ مانگ!
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) affects the cardiorespiratory systems by causing inflammation of the circulatory systems, hence, causing more cardiac complications in COVID-19 patients Objective: To observe the frequency of cardiac complications in COVID-19 patients during the second wave Methods: 235 COVID-19 patients presenting with cardiac complication to the Cardiology Department of Mayo Hospital, Lahore during 6 month periods of second wave of COVID-19 were included. Data regarding the medical history, age, gender was taken and the observed cardiac complication were noted Results: There were 76.6% male patients and 23.4% female patients. 56.2 % patients were already hypertensive, 37.9% were diabetic, 18.3% had familial history of cardiac diseases. The cardiovascular manifestations observed were, myocardial infarction (57.82%), 7.3% had angina, 21.3% had acute coronary syndrome and 12.3% had non ST elevation myocardial infarction. Conclusions: Our study suggests that there is a prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in COVID-patients which is a major concern as they are at increased risk for severe infection.
Cultivated tomato is a relatively recent addition in world’s important crops. There exists enormous variability for quality and yield related traits among different genotypes of tomato species. Like other tomato growing countries, tomato cultivation in Pakistan is also facing yield stagnation due to narrow genetic base of the existing tomato varieties and the onset of different biotic and abiotic stresses. Tomato crop thrives well at a temperature ranging from 13 °C to 39 °C. Tomato plants are sensitive to chilling temperature (0-12 oC), therefore, its yield is affected by frost and low temperature. Hence, chilling stress is the major yield limiting factor for tomato cultivation in the plain areas of Pakistan. In order to develop high yielding frost/chilling tolerant tomato varieties/hybrids, there is need to exploit the existing variability for different yield related traits in tomato. The selected genotypes with frost tolerance and high yielding traits could be hybridized to converge these traits in desired genotypes. The present study was designed to undertake the genetic analysis of various quantitative traits of economic worth. A set of 101 diverse germplasm entries was subjected to natural chilling temperatures in the field.Among all the screened genotypes only 18 lines were identified as frost tolerant. The selected lines were crossed with three high yielding testers. The parents and the F1 hybrids were planted at two different locations. The data for various quantitative traits was recorded and subjected to biometrical analysis to evaluate general combing ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA) and heterosis, as a step towards the development of genetically improved indigenous hybrids/varieties in tomatoes. For the better understanding of behavior of different traits, correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) of parental lines and F1 hybrids was also done.
