سید احمد حسین امجدؔ حیدرآبادی
افسوس ہے کہ حکیم الشعراء سید احمد حسین امجد حیدرآبادی نے بھی اس جہاں فانی کو الوداع کہا، ان کی وفات محض دنیائے شاعری کا نہیں بلکہ دنیائے دل کا حادثہ ہے، وہ تنہا شاعر ہی نہیں اس سے زیادہ حکیم و عارف اور صاحب دل صوفی تھے، اردو کے نامور شاعروں سے آج بھی ہندوستان خالی نہیں، مگر امجد اپنے رنگ میں یگانہ تھے، ان کے کلام میں طور کی تجلی اور وادی یمن کے شراروں کا عکس ہے، خصوصاً رباعی گوئی میں اس زمانہ میں ان کا جواب نہ تھا، ان کی رباعیات حکمت و بصیرت کا دفتر ہیں، وہ صحیح معنوں میں اس دور کے سرمد اور ابوسعید ابو الخیر تھے، ان کی ذات بظاہر عارفانہ شاعری کا خاتمہ نظر آتا ہے۔
انھوں نے فطرۃً بھی حکیمانہ نظر اور درد آشنا دل پایا تھا، اور ان کو حوادث بھی ایسے پیش آئے جنھوں نے ان کو سراپا سوز اور حقیقت نگر بنادیا، وہ نثر بھی سادہ سلیس، بے تکلف، اور مؤثر و دلنشین لکھتے تھے، چھوٹے چھوٹے سادہ بلیغ فقروں میں بڑی حکیمانہ اور سبق آموز باتیں کہہ جاتے تھے، ان کی نظم و نثر کی تصانیف کی تعداد ایک درجن سے زیادہ ہوگی، دارالمصنفین سے ان کے دیرینہ تعلقات تھے، حضرت سید صاحب رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ ان کے اور ان کے کلام کے بڑے قدر دان تھے، حکیم الشعراء کا لقب ان کو انہی نے دیا تھا، ایک مرتبہ امجد مرحوم دارالمصنفین بھی آئے تھے، ان کی سادہ مگر پر تاثیر شخصیت اب تک نگاہ میں ہے ایک زمانہ میں ان کا کلام معارف میں بکثرت چھپتا تھا، مگر ادھر عرصہ سے ان چیزوں سے اس قدر مستغنی اور بے نیاز ہوگئے تھے کہ اپنا کلام رسالوں میں بھیجنا چھوڑ دیا تھا، افسوس ہے کہ شاخِ طوبیٰ کا...
Fasl and Wasl are the burning topics of ‘ilm ul-Bayan (Arabic Rhetoric) alongside it is very initial element which brings structure, beautification, embellishment and improvement. Many Arab scholars, in particular, Arab pioneer Rhetoricians had discussed and still have been discussing as well as discoursing Fasl and Wasl related matters. They put their all attention deeply to both of them in the discoursing of Qur’an structure. The utmost susceptible scholar Abu Bakr Abd al-Qahir bin ‘Abd arRahman bin Muhammad al-Jurjanī, the figurative personality, who first time in the history had discussed Fasl and Wasl based structures in his two prolific books; Asrar al-Balaghah (The Secrets of Elucidation) and Dala'il al-I’jaz (Intimations of Inimitability) theoretically and practically. Later on it was developed by Abu alQasim Mahmud bin ‘Umar al-Zamakhshari as he applied both theories to his commentary on Holy Qur’an known as “Al-Kashshaaf (the Revealer)”. The following research attempts all fruitful efforts spent by scholars having different ethics. It brings arguments towards where it is required, bringing out a short comparison between contemporary and classical Fasl and Wasl based perceptions resulting in what the scholar thinks in person.
In Pakistan, per hectare crop yields of rain-fed areas are relatively lower than obtained from irrigated areas. It is mainly due to less water availability and poor soil fertility. Lower soil organic matter limits micronutrients replenishment to soil solution. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the zinc (Zn) requirement of maize, as well as to find out the interactive effect of organic and mineral fertilizer sources of nitrogen (N) on maize growth, yield and nutrient uptake. Experiments were conducted at National Agricultural Research Centre, (NARC) Islamabad, having latitude 33o 43 ́ N, longitude 73o 04 ́ E, and altitude 490 m. Soil of the study area is coarse loamy, mixed, hyperthermic Udic Ustochrept and belongs to Nabipur soil series. It is alkaline, calcareous, low in organic matter content, and deficient in N, P, K and Zn contents. Initially, an incubation study was conducted to investigate the pattern of Zn retention, release and equilibrium of added Zn fertilizer in soil,. Four levels of zinc viz. 0, 2, 4 and 8 mg kg -1 were applied to soil weighing 300 g, and incubated by maintaining field capacity moisture at 30±1 °C for 15 days. Soil samples were drawn after 1, 5, 10 and 15 days for the determination of extractable Zn concentrations. Zinc availability / release were enhanced with increasing Zn rate, rendering the highest Zn concentration of 7.8 mg kg -1 in soil extract with 8 mg kg -1 Zn application. In the beginning, release rate was rapid and decreased gradually up to 15 days. 1 2 In the field experiment, main plots had four combinations of N sources viz. control; 100 % recommended dose of N from chemical fertilizer (CF); 75 % N from CF + 25 % N from farm yard manure (FYM), and 50 % N from CF + 50 % N from FYM. In the sub-plots, there were three levels of zinc fertilizer viz. 0, 4, 8 kg Zn ha -1 . This experiment with the same treatments was conducted in both spring and summer seasons of 2008 on maize. Crop growth, yield parameters, photosynthesis rate, activity of nitrate reductase and superoxide dismutase enzymes, and nutrients uptake were measured. After the crop harvest, status of organic matter, N, P and Zn in soil was determined. Data on crop and soil parameters were subjected to statistical analysis of variance, and treatment means were compared by lsd test at P ≤ 0.05 to obtain statistical difference among them. Maize grain yield was at the highest with 75 + 25 % (CF + FYM) with 4 kg Zn ha -1 , although it was statistically at par with that from 50 % + 50 % (CF + FYM) with 4 kg Zn ha -1 and 75 % + 25 % with 8 kg Zn ha –1 . Zinc application showed a significant increase of grain and straw yield. Zinc uptake increased with the application of Zn fertilizer. Enzyme activities were enhanced with the application of Zn and FYM. The Study revealed that substitution of 25 or 50 % N with organic manure + 4 kg Zn ha -1 perform better than 100 % N fertilizer alone, with respect to improvement of crop growth, yield and soil fertility, and activities of superoxide dismutase and nitrate reductase. It reflects that integrated plant nutrient management ensures balanced supply of nutrients to the crop and improves stress tolerance as well
