اے۔ ڈی اظہر
اے۔ ڈی اظہر(۱۹۰۰۔۱۹۷۴ئ) کا اصل نام احمد دین ہے۔ لیکن اے۔ ڈی اظہر کے نام سے ادب کی دنیا میں شہرت پائی۔ آپ سیالکوٹ کے ایک چھوٹے گائوں ڈگرخورد میں پیدا ہوئے۔ آپ اردو کے ممتاز شاعر ‘ ادیب اور ماہرِ لسانیات تھے۔ آپ ملٹری اکائونٹس میں اعلی سرکاری افسر‘ سفارتکار‘ وزیر اقتصادیات‘ رکن قومی ترانہ انتخاب کمیٹی اور ہائی کمشنر آسٹریلیاجیسے عہدوں پر فائز رہے۔ اظہر کے والد ڈی۔ جی پاکستان ٹیلی ویژن رہے۔ اظہر شروع میں شاعری سے زیادہ صرف و نحو میں دلچسپی رکھتے تھے۔ عربی‘ فارسی اور کلاسیکی ادب پر اظہر کی وسیع نظر تھی۔ آپ اردو زبان سے دلی محبت‘ فکری مسائل و تحقیقی مہمات سے گہرا شغف اور پنجاب کی زندگی اور روایات سے والہانہ عشق رکھتے تھے۔ (۲۷۳)
اظہر کے تین شعری مجموعے ’’لذتِ آوارگی‘‘ ’’گریۂ پنہاں‘‘ اور ’’احوال واقعی‘‘ شائع ہو چکے ہیں لیکن انہیں ’’لذتِ آوارگی‘‘ کی وجہ سے شہرتِ دوام ملی ۔حفیظ جالندھری اظہر کے ادبی استاد اور دوست تھے۔ وہ ’’لذتِ آوارگی‘‘ پر منظوم تبصرہ کرتے ہوئے کہتے ہیں:
دیدہ ور اظہر بزورِ بازوئے نظارگی
ہے بغلگیرِ عروس لذتِ آوارگی
عمر کے اس مرحلے میں جلوہ ھائے رنگ رنگ
فکرِ اظہر سے نظر آنے لگے یکبارگی
لذتِ آوارگی اس کو نہیں ملتی حفیظ
جس کے ہاتھوں پر لکھی ہو بندگی بے چارگی(۲۷۴)
اظہر کی تخلیقات کا دامن خود ان کے ظرف کی کشادہ اور ان کی زندگی کی طرح متنوع ہے۔ ان کی تخلیقات جدید و قدیم کا حسین امتزاج ہیں۔ اظہر نے اپنے کلام کو اپنی علمیت کے بوجھ سے گراں بار نہیں کیا بلکہ تغزل کو قائم رکھا ہے۔ اپنے شگفتہ اور دل کش اسلوب کی وجہ سے موضوع کیسا ہی کیوں نہ ہو اسے سادہ اور آسان بنا دیتے ہیں۔ نمونے کے طور پر اے ۔ڈی اظہر کے کچھ اشعار...
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.
The world in the recent years has experienced different types of disasters due to changes in the global climatic patterns and human activities. Pakistan has faced many natural disasters in the last couple of years. Attabad Lake Disaster is one of those disasters which occurred on 4th January 2010 and left thousands of people as Internally Displaced People (IDPs). The international agencies working for humanitarian assistance consider Education as the fourth pillar of humanitarian aid in emergency situations. Attabad Lake disaster destroyed schools and disrupted the teaching and learning process in the particulararea. Therefore, this particular study was carried out to get an insight of post disaster teaching and learning experiences of teachers and students in SD school Shishkat which was hit by Hunza lake disaster. The study was conducted in a private school in Shishket Gojal, Hunza. This particular school building was submerged in the Attabad Lake during the disaster. A qualitative research study was conducted to get an in-depth knowledge of teachers' and students' teaching and learning experiences in the post-disaster situation. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was carried out with six teachers and twice with the students. Interviews were taken from the head teacher and an administrator of Sunshine ED (pseudonym). Three classroom observations and some important analyses of documents were done for getting appropriate data. The major findings of the study revealed that due to changed landscape of the area and changed academic year such as long vacations, students' dropout and turnover of teachers, change in school timings and change in the examination system have greatly influenced teaching and learning activities in the school. The study further found that teachers did not get any PD training for dealing with teaching and learning in an emergency situation and that the curriculum needed to be reviewed according to the needs of the students. Moreover, teaching and learning activities have changed after the disaster due to lack of resources, changed behaviour of the students and teachers and changed daily activities of the students and teachers. The findings of this study recommend some guidelines for the teachers and teacher education institutions to overcome the issues of teaching and learning during emergency situations.
