عشق پیچہ سیالکوٹی(۱۸۹۵۔۱۸۰۱) عشق پیچہ تخلص ہے کہیں پیچہ بھی لاتے ہیں۔ فرید لاہوری کے شاگرد ہیں۔ ان کا قلمی دیوان ذخیرہ شیرانی پنجاب یونیورسٹی میں محفوظ ہے جس میں غزلیات کے علاوہ ایک وا سوخت‘ چند مناقب‘ مخمس اور رباعیات شامل ہیں۔
حافظ محمود شیرانی عشق پیچہ کے بارے میں یوں رقمطراز ہیں:
عشق پیچہ کے ہاں اگرچہ کوئی جدت اور بلند خیالی نظر نہیں آتی اور زبان کے عیب بھی پائے جاتے ہیں تاہم وہ اس دبستان کے جو دہلی اور لکھنؤ کے نام سے مشہور ہے ،ایک کامیاب مقلد ہیں۔ (۱۸)
عشق پیچہ کی شاعری میں زبان کے عیب ہونے کے باوجود شاعرانہ تعلّیٰ ،تلمیحات و محاورات کا استعمال جا بجا نظر آتا ہے۔ اس حوالے سے اشعار ملاحظہ ہوں:
پری زادوں کو حرزِ جاں ہے مطلع میرے دیواں کا ہر اک نقطہ ہے میرے شعر میں خاتم سلیماں کا
لکھوں مضمون اگر میں اوس پہ اوس زلف پریشاں کا نہو شیرازہ روز حشر تک بھی میرے دیواں کا (۱۹)
لکھوں اس پر اگر وصف عیانِ جانِ جاناں کا بیاض چشم عنقا ہر ورق ہو میرے دیواں کا
یہ رویا میں کہ پائی ہو گئی سب آبرو میری خیال آیا جو کچھ بہتے ہوئے چاہِ زنخداں کا
یہی ہے عشق پیچہ روز و شب اب التجا حق سے الجھ جاوے نہ ہرگز دل کسی انساں سے انساں کا (۲۰)
روایتی اردو شاعری کا محبوب اپنے عاشق پرظلم و رستم کرتا رہا ہے۔ محبوب کی اپنے عاشق کا فریفتہ کرنے کے لیے مکارانہ چالیں بھی کلاسیکی اردو شاعری کا حصہ رہی ہیں۔ عشقِ مجازی روایتی شاعری کا ایک بڑا موضوع رہا ہے۔ عشق پیچہ نے بھی روایتی شعر کہے ہیں اس حوالے سے اشعار ملاحظہ ہوں:
طائر دل کو ملا دانہ سے صدمہ جال کا دھیان جب آیا پسِ مرگ اوس کی ترچھی چال کا

Undoubtedly, Youth play cardinal role in the development and reformation of any society. Their activities produce an immense influence in the social development and progress. This article aimed at highlighting the important role of youth in social reforms by keeping in view the Islamic personalities like great companions of Holy Prophet (r). Descriptive and qualitative research approach was employed for the collection and analysis of data. The systematic review of scholarly literature on Islamic history revealed that the Prophet Muhammad (r) gave particular emphasize to nourish young generation in order to mold their lives into an ideal and balanced personality. He by developing intellectual, spiritual, and emotional skills produced such great men who led the mankind and became heroes of history. At the same time they appeared as ideal traders, peaceful citizens, just rulers, true followers of Holy Prophet (r) and loyal worshiper of Allah Almighty. The research by observing present condition of youth found that unfortunately our youth was found in illicit, unethical, useless, and peace demoting activities which promoted social evils and criminal activities. They got involved in unlawful activities including terrorism, killing, robbery, and kidnapping etc. By keeping view the above findings the research strongly recommends to nurture our youth on the footsteps of companions of Holy Prophet (r) in order to bring peace and prosperity in the country. Moreover they should be given awareness about the lives of heroes of Islam who appeared with great titles on the horizon.
The present efforts in energy storage are directed more towards modifying the secondary battery systems. Titania (TiO2) is an appropriate substitute for anode material in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its surpassed structural stability and high safety during the prolonged charge/discharge cycles. The low conductivity issues associated with this material has been a constraining factor influencing its rate capability and cycling performance. From this viewpoint, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), a zero gap semiconductor, with distinctive electronic properties, together with superb electrochemical, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties that are much more than the other carbon allotropes such as diamond, graphite and fullerene. More importantly, MWCNTs has also proved their effectiveness upon compositing with a metal oxide or metallic nanoparticles to augment the electrochemical performance. In this work, M-TiO2/MWCNTs (M = Mn, Ni, Co, Cu) were synthesized by surfactant assisted controlled hydrolysis approach taking the advantage of the synergistic interplay between MWCNTs and M-doped TiO2 leveraging both the electrode performance and stability. Exploiting synchrotron-based spectroscopy (NEXAFS, XANES and ex-situ XRD) and microscopy techniques, we examined the structure of metal-doped TiO2/MWCNTs nanocomposites characterized by varied morphology and structural order at the nanoscale. This entire investigation of the electronic, morphological, and structural properties enabled us to recognize and unveil the electrochemical transformations upon cycling. A convenient, cheap and mild covalent functionalization route for multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been developed for the first time. The results consistently iv confirmed the formation of carboxyl functionalities on MWCNTs, while the structure of MWCNTs has remained relatively intact. At an optimal 5% doping of Mn, Ni, Cu and 7% doping of Co the electrode showed 176.4, 241.3, 214.1 and 177.6 mAh g‒1 capacity at C/10 for 80 cycles, moreover an excellent rate capacity is also demonstrated at a sufficiently high rate of 20 C. The lower angle shift and enlargement of TiO2 unit cell from XRD results indicate that metal dopants are substituting Ti atoms from the pure anatase TiO2 matrix. The increase in the intensity of t2g and eg bands in O K-edge NEXAFS point to the effective hybridization between metal 3d and O 2p orbitals. Metal and Ti L3,2 edge from NEXAFS spectra clearly reflect 2+ and 4+ valence states of metal and Ti, respectively. C K-edge NEXAFS provides clear evidence for a charge distribution and chemical bonding between MxTi1-xO2 nanoparticles and MWCNTs. Ex-situ XANES studies of lithiated samples have proved that Ti and metal K edge shifts to lower energy upon increased doping concentration while ex-situ XRD points towards the lattice expansion upon Li-insertion. This work offers new outlooks for electrode fabrication with a deep insight into structural alterations associated with the charging-discharging behaviour in the composite electrodes for battery applications.
