والیؔ آسی
۱۴؍ اپریل کو اردو کے ایک خوش گو اور خوش فکر شاعر والی آسی کا انتقال ہوگیا، انہیں شاعری اور اردو زبان کی خدمت کا ولولہ اپنے نامور والد، مولانا عبدالباری آسی مرحوم سے وارثت میں ملا تھا۔ والی مرحوم کی تعلیم ممتاز اسکول اور امیر الدولہ اسلامیہ کالج لکھنؤ میں ہوئی تھی۔ جناب ساجد لکھنوی سے ان کی دوستی تھی، دونوں نے لاٹوش روڈ پر مکتبہ دین و دنیا قائم کیا، جہاں سے متعدد مجموعے شائع کئے، دونوں نے مل کر نعتیہ کلام کا ایک مجموعہ " ارمغانِ نعت" کے نام سے مرتب کر کے شائع کیا تھا، جو بہت مقبول ہوا۔
والی مرحوم شریف، ملنسار مگر خود دار شخص تھے، صوم و صلوٰۃ کے پابند تھے ان کی شاعری فکر و خیال کی مہارت اور اسلامی رنگ کی حامل ہوتی تھی، ان کے دو مجموعے ’’شہد‘‘ اور ’’موم‘‘ کے نام سے شائع ہوچکے ہیں، رسالوں میں بھی ان کا کلام چھپتا رہتا تھا، مشاعروں میں بھی شریک ہوتے تھے، ان کا ترنم بہت اچھا تھا مگر اکثر تحت اللفظ پڑھتے تھے، آواز اتنی پاٹ دار ہوتی تھی کہ سامعین خود بہ خود متوجہ ہوجاتے تھے، اپنے جان دار کلام کی وجہ سے ملک کے علاوہ دوحہ، قطر، مسقط، جدہ، دبئی، لندن، اور نیویارک کے مشاعروں میں بھی مدعو کئے جاتے تھے، ان کے شاگردوں کا وسیع حلقہ تھا، جن میں مشہور شاعر منور رانا بھی ہیں، وہ بڑے یار باش تھے، امین آباد میں ان کی دکان پر دوست شاعروں کا جمگھٹ رہتا تھا۔ ان کے چند اشعار ملاحظہ ہوں، جو آزادی کے پچاس ۵۰ برس گزرنے کی مناسبت سے کہے گئے ہیں:
کبھی کیا نہ کسی سے بیاں پچاس برس
کہ ہم نے کیسے گزارے یہاں پچاس برس
یہ چاہتے تھے قصیدہ ترا لکھیں لیکن
لہو میں ڈوبی رہیں انگلیاں پچاس...
It is estimated by studying the history that the imagination of life was limited before the appearance of Islam. A new era started after the arrival of Islam. Revolution came in thoughts and ideas. Every department was effected even poetry, literature and language pleasantly effected. A revolution created in the Arabic literature after the revelation of the Holy Quran even it taught the rituals of representation of emotions along with facial and spiritual beauty to the Arabic literature. Arabic language is full of knowledge and thoughts of whole world today and the axis of Arabic language and literature is the Holy Quran. The resources of ignorant literature which we get today was collected to save and understand the language of the Holy Quran. For example to eliminate the linguistic flaws, grammar science came into being and rhetoric science came into being to prove Quranic miracle and language and literature came into being to explain the poor words, and Hadith, tafseer, fiqah and other sciences came into being for religious laws. The Holy Quran changed the direction of literature towards justice, service to humanity and support of right and truth and chastity and modesty and God-worship. It gave appropriate dignified styles to explain every topic and invited to work by using reasons and thoughts. Arabic language is effected by the Holy Quran in such a way that it softened the hard and ruthless hearts of Arabs and made the surface wisdom heavy and solid by entering in it. Could not get effected by Holy Quran as the level which prose got benefit. The prose got more shine in the time of Khulafa-e-rashidin when victories increased, boundaries of Islamic state expanded and political and developmental issues increased. It is a fact that Arabic prose got too high as compared to the Arabic poetry due to the Holy Quran.
Biofertilizers are formulations containing agriculturally beneficial microorganisms, mass multiplied under laboratory conditions, inoculated in a carrier and supplied to the farmers for field applications. Carriers are inert materials with high absorptive capabilities when added in the preparations, provide strength and shape to the active ingredient. In Pakistan, dissemination of biofertilizer technology is facing a serious constraint due to non-availability of a suitable carrier for bioinnoculant. The aim of present study was to formulate suitable carriers from locally available cheap material and evaluate for shelf life by using locally isolated plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains from maize rhizosphere as well as to test efficacy of PGPR inoculated carriers on maize plants under sterilized conditions of laboratory, greenhouse and unsterilized field conditions. Carrier material was prepared using different combinations between 35-50% clay soil, 30-45% fly-ash, 5-15% press mud and 5-15% lignite by weight. Soil containing 53% clay content was utilized to enhance adhesion capacity with the seeds. As essential quality of an acceptable carrier is that it should be free of lump formation, 40% clay soil with other materials was found suitable. Six different combinations in the range mentioned above were developed and subjected to physico-chemical analysis. Four treatments including 40% clay, 30-40% fly-ash, 10-15% press mud and 10-15% lignitic coal were developed considering good adhesion capacity, high moisture holding capacity, adequate nutrient availabilty and designated as formulated carrier (FC). These formulated carriers along with biozote carrier were investigated for PGPR shelf life. Different inoculated carriers revealed significant difference regarding microbial survival. Different incubation intervals also indicated a significant decline in population density of bacteria. Among the investigated carrier, the FC-4 (Clay soil 40%, fly-ash 30%, press-mud 15%, lignitic coal 15%) was categorized superior which supported 33.5x108 to 10.8x108 cfu g-1 for MR8 while 32.6x108 to 7.2x108 cfu g-1 for MR5. However all the tested carriers maintained the required population of viable cells upto six months of incubation period. All the inoculated carriers showed a significant increase over un-inoculated control to different plant growth parameters and plant mineral composition as well as nutrient uptake of maize plant in the pot, greenhouse and field study. Bioinoculant of FC-4 performed best followed by FC-1 and FC-3 conpared to BC. Among the two PGPR strains tested, MR8 was moderately better compared to MR5 while non-significant interaction between bacterial strains and carrier’s treatments was observed for most of the measured parameters. It is concluded from the pot, greenhouse and field experiments that FC-4 can be utilized as a carrier for the production of PGPR biofertizer for maize crop. Further experimentation related to other beneficial bacteria isolated from different crops should be conducted for utilization of FC-4 as carrier for biofertilizer production.
