فتح دین گلکارؔ (۱۹۳۰ئ۔۱۸۶۵ئ) کا اصل نام فتح دین اور گلکار تخلص ہے۔ آپ پسرورمیں پیدا ہوئے۔ پسرور میں علمی و ادبی محفلوں میں شامل ہوتے رہے۔ عربی اردو اور فارسی پر عبور رکھتے تھے۔ اپنے دور کے پرگو شاعر تھے ان کا بہت سا کلام غیر مطبوعہ ہے جو مختلف شخصیات کے پاس بکھرا پڑا ہے۔ (۵۷)
ان کا بکھر ہوا کلام طبع کرنے کی ضرورت ہے۔ راقم الحروف ان کا غیر مطبوعہ کلام بازیافت نہیں کر سکاہے ۔ گلکار کا ۲۵۶ صفحات پر مشتمل ایک شعری مجموعہ ہے جو نایاب ہے۔ یہ مجموعہ غزلیات اور قصائد پر مشتمل ہے۔ میجر ہارٹ کی مدح میں ایک قصیدہ ہے جو ۱۸۸۹ء کا لکھا ہوا ہے۔ قصیدے کا مطلع اور مقطع ملاحظہ ہو:
جو کہ ماری مدح کا دم کیا تجھے امکان ہے
نارسا بیعقل کب تجھ سا کوئی نادان ہے
ٹائم آمد عیسوی گلکارؔ یوں ہاتف کیا
جیسے غیاثِ درد منداں حاتم دوران کیا (۵۸)
آپ کے غیر مطبوعہ اور مطبوعہ دیوان مناجات‘ حمدیہ قصائد اور غزلیات پر مشتمل ہیں۔ کچھ اشعار ملاحظہ ہوں:
بسم اﷲ خاص منبع ہے سرقدیم کا
مژدہ ہے اس میں الرحمن الرحیم کا
حامد ہے کون حمد خدائے کریم کا
عالم ہے کون حضرت علم علیم کا
گلکارؔ کچھ خطر نہیں روزِ حساب کا
تقویٰ ہے تجھ کو رحمت رب الرحیم کا (۵۹)
The preposition ‘min’ is semantically more complex than what the traditional lexicaAl-syntactic approaches held it to be adverb or adverbial of place and time. This paper attempts to investigate the semantic complexity of the preposition ‘min’ from cognitive linguistic perspective to find out its semantic classification and linguistic symmetric patterns. Data has been taken from the Quran to investigate the claim of conceptual metaphor theory that sensorimotor neural structures generates the preposition ‘min’ on the image schema of source-path-goal. The findings reveal that the source-pathgoal image schema is not only at work in the use of preposition ‘min’ in spatio-geometric sense, but also to map the abstract concepts, emotional states and relationship with supernatural entities in spatial terms in the Quran. However, the data also show idiosyncratic behaviour of preposition, attaining different semantic arguments in different linguistic contexts, which strengthen the argument that language use cannot be abridged to static mapping in the human conceptual system. This paper recommends future research on the same preposition or other prepositions to investigate further the source-path-goal image schema in the Quran and Arabic language.
Water stress is a key constraint in grain production of bread wheat. Using genomic and advanced breeding tools, genetic improvement in wheat and other crops is possible under water stress conditions. Fifty wheat genotypes were screened against water stress using traits like relative water contents and excised leaf water loss. Two water stress tolerant (Chakawal-50 and mairaj-08) and two susceptible (9436 and Millat-11) genotypes were identified and crossed to develop F1, F2 and backcross generations. Genetic analysis was conducted for relative water contents, excised leaf water loss, cell membrane thermo-stability, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, CO2 assimilation, chlorophyll contents, plant height, flag leaf area, specific flag leaf area, peduncle length, spike length, number of tillers per plant, grain weight per spike, number of grains per spikes, 1000-grain weight, grain yield per plant and harvest index. Presence of additive, dominance and epistatic components were identified. Gene action was found complex showed that selection should be done in later generations for improvement of traits. Medium to high broad sense heritability, low to medium narrow sense heritability and low to high genetic advance was observed. Analysis under normal and water stress conditions revealed heterosis for relative water contents, excised leaf water loss, chlorophyll contents and plant height. Correlation analysis showed that relative water contents, cell membrane thermo-stability, photosynthetic rate and grain yield per plant were positively correlated with each other. Excised leaf water loss was negatively correlated with cell membrane thermo-stability, photosynthetic rate, relative water contents and grain yield per plant. A total of 30 ISSR markers were used to survey F2 population developed by a cross of Chakawal-50 (tolerance) and 9436 (susceptible) revealing a lots of DNA polymorphism. DNA polymorphism was used to construct genetic linkage map. In linkage analysis 73 bands produced from 4 ISSR markers were mapped on chromosomes. One QTL for photosynthetic rate on chromosome 3A, one for cell membrane thermo-stability on chromosome 2B and one for relative water contents on chromosome 4D was identified. These QTLs could be used to mold wheat genome into water stress tolerant wheat genome.
