ابو الکلام آزاد جدید تعلیم و ٹیکنالوجی کے داعی اور مفکر تھے،ان کا یوم پیدائش
یوم تعلیم کے نام سے ہرسال منایا جاتا ہے ؟مولانا آزاد ایک سچے ہندوستانی اور
ہندوستان کی اس مٹی کے تربیت یافتہ تھے جس نے ماضی میں بھی دنیا کو بڑے بڑے عالم
فاضل،رشی ،منی اور مفکر دیے ہیں ۔ وہ اسی ہندوستان کے سپوت ہیں جس نے پوری دنیا کو
تمدن اور تہذیب سکھائی ہے۔چنانچہ یہی وجہ ہے کہ ہم آج مولانا آزاد کا یوم پیدائش
منا رہے ہیں نیز اسے انسان کی سب سے بڑی ضرورت یعنی تعلیم سے وابستہ کر رہے ہیں
۔مذکورہ خیالات کا اظہار آج پیس انڈیا فاؤنڈیشن کے مرکزی آفس پنجابی بستی گھنٹہ
گھر،دہلی میں منعقدہ پروگرام کی صدارت کر تے ہوئے ڈاکٹر محمد یحییٰ صبا کیا۔ انھوں
نے کہا کہ مولانا آزاد کی پیدائش کا جائے مقام مکہ ہے جہاں اقرا یعنی پڑھنے کی
پہلی وحی نازل ہوئی۔جہاں سب سے پہلے اللہ تعالیٰ کی جانب سے پڑھائی کا حکم
ملا۔چنانچہ اسی سرزمین کا فیضان ہے کہ اس نے ہمیں مولانا ابو الکلام جیسا
عالم،مفسر،مضمون نگار،مفکر اور دانشور دیا۔یہ ہمارے اور ہمارے ملک پر اللہ تعالیٰ
کا خصوصی احسان اور کرم ہے۔انھوں نے کہا کہ آج کے دن کا پیغام یہ ہے کہ ہم جدید
تعلیم، سائنس و ٹیکنالوجی جس کامنبع و مرکز تمام مذہبی کتب بالخصوص قرآن و حدیث کی
تعلیمات ہیں اور اعلا فکر جیسی نعمتیں حاصل کر نے کی بھر پورکوشش کریں کیوں کہ
حدیثوں میں آتا ہے کہ حکمت و دانائی مومن کا گم کردہ سرمایہ ہے۔سو اسے چاہیے کہ وہ
اسے جہاں پائے، ہر حال میں حاصل کر ے۔مولانا ابو الکلام آزاد اور ان کی تعلیمات و
کوششیں ہمیں یہی سکھاتی ہیں اور اسی کی تلقین کرتی ہیں۔انھوں نے کہا کہ ہندوستان
میں ایک طبقے کے متعلق مفروضہ مشہور ہے کہ وہ سخت مسلم مخالف ہے مگر وہ طبقہ بھی
مولانا آزاد کو اپنا عظیم ترین سرمایہ تصور کرتا ہے۔</span><span dir="LTR" style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

اردو ستیہ وتی کالج ،دہلی یونیورسٹی کے استاذ ڈاکٹر عارف اشتیاق نے اس موقع پر کہا
کہ مولانا آزاد اور تعلیم دونوں ایک ایسی حقیقت ہیں جن کا ایک دوسرے کے بغیر تصور
ممکن نہیں ہے۔انھوں نے کہا کہ مولانا نے ملک کے آزاد ہونے سے قبل اور بعد جوحصول
تعلیم کی کوششیں کیں اور باشندگان وطن کے لیے جس طرح کی تعلیم کے چلن کے خواب
دیکھے ،ان کی مثال کہیں نہیں ملتی۔مولانا نہ صرف ملک عزیز کے پرستار تھے اور یہاں
بسنے والی تمام اقوام کی بھلائی کے لیے فکر مند تھے بلکہ ملت اسلامیہ کے لیے بھی
ان کے دل میں بہت درد اور احساس تھا۔چنانچہ انھوں نے تعلیم کی جانب متوجہ کرنے کے
لیے یہاں کی اقلیتوں اور مسلمانوں کو اسکالرشپ اور تعلیمی وظائف کا سلسلہ شروع
کیا،اس کا خاطر خواہ اثر سامنے آیا اور دیکھتے ہی دیکھتے ایک بڑی جماعت نے اس
طریقے سے استفادہ کیا۔<o:p></o:p></span></div>

فاؤنڈیشن کے ممبر عمران عاکف خان نے کہا کہ مولانا آزاد نے روایتی تعلیم اور جدید
تعلیم اسی کے ساتھ ساتھ ٹیکنالوجی کے حصول پر بہت زور دیا ۔انھوں نے جہاں اپنی
علمی ،ادبی اور مذہبی تحریروں سے اس تعلیم کے حصول کی تلقین کی،وہیں انھوں نے نئی
تعلیم اور وقت کے تقاضوں کے مطابق چیزوں کو سوچنے ا ور سمجھنے کی طرف بھی توجہ
دلائی۔انھوں نے اپنی وزارت تعلیمات کے دوران ملک بھر میں پھیلی کالجز،یونیورسٹیوں
اور سرکاری محکموں کے زیر اہتمام جاری تعلیمی اداروں میں تعلیم اور انداز تعلیم کو
از سر نو مرتب کیا اور پھر اس کے لیے متعدد رہ نما اصول بھی مرتب کیے۔چنانچہ آج ہم

<div class="gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mk" style="direction: rtl; font-family: inherit; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">علامہ اقبال اور اردو کاآپس میں بہت گہر اتعلق ہے چنانچہ جہاں ارودکا ذکر ہوگا وہاں پر علامہ اقبال کا بھی ذکر ہوگا ،اس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ علامہ اقبال نے اردو کو اپنے خیالات وافکارکا ذریعہ بنایا اور اپنے کلام کا بیشتر حصہ اسی زبان میں تخلیق کیا۔انھوں نے جہاں فارسی زبان کو اظہار خیال کا ذریعہ بنایا وہیں اردو کو بھی بنایا۔یہی وجہ ہے کہ اردوزبان و ادب اور شاعری نے ان کے قلم سے جلا پائی ہے۔وہ ایک بڑے دانشور اور مفکر قوم ہیں نیز ان کا درد آفاقی ہے اور اس کا ذریعۂ اظہار اردو۔اسی لیے اردو اور اقبال کے مابین خصوصی ربط و ضبط ہے اور اقبال و اردو اور اردو واقبال کا تصور کسی طرح بھی علاحدہ نہیں کیا جاسکتا۔مذکورہ خیالات کا اظہار آج یہاں شعبۂ اردوکروڑی مل کالج،دہلی یونیورسٹی میں منعقدہ خصوصی پروگرام بعنوان’’تقریب بہ موقع اردو و اقبال‘‘کے بینر تلے شعبے کے سینئر استاذڈاکٹر محمد یحییٰ صبا نے کیا۔یہ پروگرام ڈاکٹر محمد خالد اشرف کی صدارت میں منعقد ہوا جس کی نظامت جاوید اختر نے کی۔</span></div>

<div class="gmail-" style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mk" style="direction: rtl; font-family: inherit; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">ڈاکٹر محمد یحییٰ صبا نے اپنے وقیع خطبے میں طلباء کو خطاب کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ اردو کی تدریس افکار اقبال کے بغیر ناممکن ہے۔اقبال ہماری گنگا جمنی تہذیب کے علم بر دار ہیں اور اردو کی بھی یہی خاصیت رہی ہے چنانچہ اقبال کا مقام اس طرح بھی نہایت بلند اور باوقار ہے۔انھوں نے مزید کہا کہ اقبال کا فلسفۂ خودی ایک نایاب اور نادر فلسفہ ہے جو راست قرآن و حدیث کی تعلیمات سے متاثر ہے ۔اس کی ایک وجہ یہ بھی ہے کہ علامہ نے اسلامی اقتصادیات اور فلسفے میں پی ایچ ڈی کی ہے چنانچہ ان سب چیزوں کا اثر آنا لازمی تھا۔انھوں نے مزید کہا کہ اقبال کی تعلیمات اور اردو کے حوالے سے ان کی خدمات ہمارے لیے نہ صرف قابل عمل ہیں بلکہ قابل فخر سرمایہ بھی۔علامہ اقبال نے ایسے وقت میں اردو کا پرچم بلند کیا جب حقیقی معنوں میں اس کی شناخت اور وجود پر خطرات کے بادل منڈلا رہے تھے۔گو انھوں نے فارسی زبان میں شاعری کی مگر ثانوی زبان کے طور پر اردو ہی ان کی پسندیدہ زبان ٹھہری۔</span></div>
</div>
<div class="gmail-" style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mk" style="direction: rtl; font-family: inherit; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">اس موقع پر شعبے کے ٹیچر انچارج اور سینئر استاذ ڈاکٹر محمد خالد اشرف نے اقبال ڈے کی تقریب کے انعقاد پر شعبے کے طلبا کو مبارک باد دیتے ہوئے اقبال اور اقبالیات پر خصوصی خطاب کیا ۔جس میں انھوں نے تاریخی حقائق اور اس وقت کے سیاسی اتارچڑھاؤ کے حوالے سے بہت سی معلومات افزا اور حیرت انگیز باتیں بتائیں۔انھوں نے علامہ اقبال کوبیسویں صدی کا شاعر بتاتے کہا کہ علامہ اقبال گو پاکستان اور وہاں کے مفکرو ں وشاعرو ں کے امام بن گئے مگر ان کی آفاقیت اور ہندوستانیت سے کسی بھی طور انکار ممکن نہیں ہے۔انھوں نے کہا کہ علامہ اقبال نے ہندوستانی مسلمانوں کی رہنمائی اور خبرگیری ایسے وقت میں کی جب ان کی شناخت اور وجوددونوں مخدوش تھے۔ علامہ اقبال مسلم لیگ کے صدر تھے مگر جناح سے زیادہ سیکولر اور فکر مندانسان تھے چنانچہ انھیں پاکستان کا بانی کہہ کر ہمیشہ مطعون کیا جاتا ہے جب کہ سچی بات یہ ہے کہ اقبال کے درد کو سمجھا ہی نہیں گیا۔وہ کبھی بھی پاکستان کے طور پر کسی آزاد و علاحدہ ملک کے حامی نہیں تھے بلکہ وہ اسی ہندوستان میں مسلمانوں کی اکثریت والے علاقوں میں ان کی جداگانہ حیثیت اور اٹانمس کے حامی تھے۔انھوں نے مزید گفتگو کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ اقبال کا درد اوراقبال کی فکر دونوں غوروفکر اور عمل کی چیزیں ہیں۔</span></div>
</div>
<div class="gmail-" style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mk" style="direction: rtl; font-family: inherit; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">انھوں نے علامہ اقبال اور سرسید احمد خاں کی فکرو ں کا موازنہ کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ اگر ہم سرسید احمد خاں کی تحریکات،ہندوستانی مسلمانوں میں جدید تعلیم کے رجحانات کا جائزہ لیتے ہوئے ان کی فکرکا اندازہ کرتے ہیں تو ہمیں اقبال کا قد بلند نظر آتا ہے۔وہ ہمیں سرسید سے زیادہ مفکر نظر آتے ہیں۔</span></div>

<div class="gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mk" style="direction: rtl; font-family: inherit; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">اس موقع پر جواہر لال نہرویونیورسٹی کے ریسرچ اسکالر عمران عاکف خان نے اقبال اور یوم اردو کے حوالے سے بات کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ اقبال اور اردو میں گہری مناسبت اور تعلق ہے۔اقبال کا احسان ارد و پر دوسرے دانشوروں سے زیادہ ہے۔اردو اور اقبال کا جداگانہ تصور ممکن نہیں بلکہ آنے والے وقت میں اقبال اور اردو اسی طرح اردو اور اقبال دونوں ایک ہی بن جائیں گے۔انھوں نے کہا کہ اردو ایک ایسی زبان ہے جو دلوں کی ترجمان اور احساسات کا بیان ہے۔اردو نے اپنے یوم قیام سے ہی دوسری زبانوں کی لفظیات،استعارات،جذبات اور فکروں کو اپنے اندر سمویا ہے۔یہی وجہ ہے کہ وہ بہت تھوڑے عرصے میں دلوں میں اپنا مقام بناتی چل گئی۔اردو نے بہت کم عرصے میں ہندوستان کے طول و عرض میں پھیل کرباشندگان ہند کو اپنی اہمیت و افادیت سے روشناس کیا اور پھر دیکھتے ہی دیکھتے سب اس کے حامی اور طرف دار بن گئے نیز اس کے فروغ و ارتقا کے لیے کوششیں کرنے لگے۔</span></div>
</div>
<div class="gmail-" style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mk" style="direction: rtl; font-family: inherit; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">اس موقع پر شعبے کے طالب علم فروغ احمد نے علامہ اقبال کے متعدد فکر انگیز اشعار کی روشنی میں تقریر کی جس میں انھوں نے علامہ کے فلسفۂ خودی اور اسے اپنانے و اس پر عمل پیرا ہونے پر زوردیا۔علامہ اقبال کی اسلام فہمی اور دینی حمیت کے تعلق سے بتاتے ہوئے انھوں نے کہا کہ علامہ اقبال کی تعلیم و تربیت میں انجمن حمایت اسلام لاہور کا بڑا ہاتھ رہا ہے جو آخر تک ان کے ذہن فکر رسا پر حاوی رہا اور تاعمر وہ اسلام کے ترجمان رہے اور اسی کے نغمے گاتے رہے۔اس موقع پر شعبے کے ایک اور طالب علم حسین پرویز نے علامہ کی معروف نظم ’بچے کی دعا‘ترنم میں سنائی۔یہ محفل شعبے کے طالب ابواللیث قاسمی کے شکریے پر اختتام پذیر ہوئی۔</span></div>

<div class="gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mk" style="direction: rtl; font-family: inherit; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">اس تقریب میں شعبے کے طلبا کی ایک کثیر تعداد نے شرکت کی جن میں جاوید اختر خان،فرحان اختر،سرفراز،انعم خورشید،حماد ،محمد عبد اللہ،بے نظیر،محمد انیس،توفیق خان،محمد صدام حسین،فریدہ بانو، علویہ،شہزادہ سلیم،عمر الیاس،عامر چودھری،طارق ملک،محمد آصف،بلال،عادل،محمد نعیم،ذوالفقار علی، محمد مہتاب،دلشاد،شبیر،ارشد رضانمایاں طور پر موجود تھے۔</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">This world
and these people are not for me, Whom should I tell the state of my restless
heart?, I am the extinguished flame of my own mausoleum, If only I could
forget, but I am unable to forget with what uproar marched the funeral of Spring,
I know neither my own whereabouts nor have I heard news from friends, Even
enemies do not receive such a punishment for love, Others meet the God for whom
they have searched, Let me have just one glance from my beloved, Even as I
enter the wilderness, I found no shelter, I found no pretense to erase the
memory of my sadness, What can I understand about the world in which my heart
remains longing for love?, Upon losing a winning gamble, I must search for my
lost friend, Far from my gaze, someone is shedding tears, How can I resist
going when someone calls to me?, Either let me mend this broken heart or let me
break all ties, Oh mountains, show me the path! Oh thorns, let go of my
embrace!, This world and these people are not for me.</span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">ممتازدانشوراورکروڑی مل کالج ، دہلی یونیورسٹی میں شعبہ اردوکے پروفیسرڈاکٹریحییٰ
صبانے کہاہے کہ ہندوستانی تہذیب و ثقافت کے فروغ میں اردو زبان کا اہم کردار ہے۔انہوں
نے مذکورہ خیالات کا اظہار 8اکتوبرکو ’’ گڈوِل فار پیپل‘‘اور ’’قومی کونسل برائے فروغ
اردو زبان‘‘کے اشتراک سے منعقدہ ایک ورک شاپ عنوان’’ہندوستانی تہذیب کو مضبوط کر نے
میں اردو کا کردار‘‘کے موقع پر صدارتی خطبہ پیش کرتے ہوئے کیا۔</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">انہوں نے مزیدکہاکہ ہندوستان،ہندوستانی تہذیب اور اردویہ تینوں چیزیں
کہنے کو الگ الگ ضرور ہیں مگر ان میں ایک خاص ملاپ اور مناسبت ہے جس نے ان کو اس طرح
جوڑرکھا ہے کہ ایک دوسرے کے بغیر یہ ادھوری ہیں ۔ان میں بھی اردو کا نمبر سب سے پہلے
ہے جس نے ہندوستان اور ہندوستانی تہذیب کے درمیان ایک خوشگوار رشتہ قائم کر رکھا ہے۔اردو
جہاں گنگا جمنی تہذیب کا اصل سرچشمہ ہے وہیں بدقسمتی سے وہ اس ملک میں دوسری زبان کا
درجہ رکھتی ہے۔قطع نظر اس کے کہ اردو کی اس ثانوی حیثیت کا ذمے دار کون ہے؟اہم بات
یہ ہے کہ اردو زبان کی اہمیت اور مقام سے کسی طرح انکار ممکن نہیں ہے۔انھوں نے کہا
کہ اردو نہ صرف ایک زبان ہے بلکہ دلوں کو جوڑنے والی اور ہماری ہندوستانی شناخت و پہچان
کا بھی اہم ذریعہ ہے۔انھوں نے کہا کہ اردو جہاں ایک زبان،ایک بھاشا اور بولی ہے وہیں
اس کا تعاون یہ ہے کہ اس نے ٹوٹے دلوں،خطوں اور علاقوں کو آپس میں جوڑا ہے ۔انھوں نے
مزید کہا کہ اردو ہندوستانی زبانوں میں سب سے میٹھی اور دلوں کو موہ لینی والی زبان
ہے۔</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">اس پروگرام کے دوسرے خطیب ستیہ وتی کالج ،دہلی یونیورسٹی کے استاذ
ڈاکٹر اشتیاق عارف نے اپنے خطاب میں کہا کہ اردومحبتوں اور خلوص کی زبان ہے۔جہاں یہ
سیکھنے کی زبان ہے وہیں زندگیوں میں اپلی منٹ کی زبان بھی ہے۔اپنے اندر اتارنے اور
اپنی زندگیوں میں ڈھالنے کی زبان ہے۔انھوں نے مزید کہا کہ یہ زبان تہذیب اور ادب سکھاتی
ہے۔رہنے سہنے اور پہننے اوڑھنے تک کے آداب یہ سکھاتی ہے۔</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">مذکورہ پروگرام سے خطاب کر تے ہوئے جواہر لال نہرویونیورسٹی کے ریسرچ
اسکالر عمران عاکف خان نے کہا کہ اردو ہندوستان کی بنیادوں میں شامل زبان ہے۔جس نے
ہندوستانی عمارت کو تھام رکھا ہے۔اس نے انگریزوں سے آزادی اور آزادی کے بعد ملک عزیز
پر پڑنے والی ہر افتاد کا مقابلہ کرتے ہوئے ملک کو بچایاہے۔انھوں نے مزید کہا کہ اردو
ہندوستان کا لباس زیبا اور خوش گوار پیرہن ہے ۔ اگر میں یہ کہوں تو مبالغہ نہ ہوگا
کہ اردو کی حیثیت ہندوستان میں ایسی ہی ہے جس طرح ہمارے بدن میں رگوں اور رگوں میں
دوڑتے ہوئے خون کی حیثیت ہے۔اردو کا فروغ اور اس کی بقا ہماری بقا اور فروغ کی ضمانت
ہے۔ہماری تہذیب کے فروغ کی ضمانت ہے۔انھوں نے مزید کہا کہ اردو کے بغیر ہم اس سماج
و سوسائٹی کا تصور ہی نہیں کر سکتے جسے کلاسک اور معیاری کہا جاسکے۔چنانچہ ہمارے لیے
ضروری ہے کہ ہم ہر سطح اور مقام پر خود کو اردوسے اور اردو کو خود سے جوڑیں۔</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">اس پروگرام سے خطاب کر تے ہوئے قاری محمدہارون صدر اقلیتی مورچہ
بھارتیہ جنتا پارٹی،دہلی پردیش نے بھی خطاب کیا۔انھوں نے کہا کہ اردو کو مٹانے اور
برباد کر نے کی جتنی بھی کوشش ماضی وحال میں کی گئی وہ کبھی بھی کامیاب نہ ہوسکی۔اس
کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ اردو زبان ہماری سوچ اور فکر سے جڑی ہے ۔پھر جس طرح ہماری سوچ اور
فکر کے خلاف ہر کوشش ناکام ہوتی ہے ،اسی طرح اردو کے خلاف اٹھنے والی ہر کوشش بھی۔اردو
سینوں اور دلوں میں گھر کرنے والی زبان ہے۔آنکھوں کو نور اور دل کو سرور بخشنے والی
زبان ہے ۔چنانچہ اسے کون اور کیوں کر مٹا سکتا ہے۔</span><br />

<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">ممتازدانشوراورکروڑی مل کالج ، دہلی یونیورسٹی میں شعبہ اردوکے پروفیسرڈاکٹریحییٰ
صبانے کہاہے کہ ہندوستانی تہذیب و ثقافت کے فروغ میں اردو زبان کا اہم کردار ہے۔انہوں
نے مذکورہ خیالات کا اظہار 8اکتوبرکو ’’ گڈوِل فار پیپل‘‘اور ’’قومی کونسل برائے فروغ
اردو زبان‘‘کے اشتراک سے منعقدہ ایک ورک شاپ عنوان’’ہندوستانی تہذیب کو مضبوط کر نے
میں اردو کا کردار‘‘کے موقع پر صدارتی خطبہ پیش کرتے ہوئے کیا۔</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">انہوں نے مزیدکہاکہ ہندوستان،ہندوستانی تہذیب اور اردویہ تینوں چیزیں
کہنے کو الگ الگ ضرور ہیں مگر ان میں ایک خاص ملاپ اور مناسبت ہے جس نے ان کو اس طرح
جوڑرکھا ہے کہ ایک دوسرے کے بغیر یہ ادھوری ہیں ۔ان میں بھی اردو کا نمبر سب سے پہلے
ہے جس نے ہندوستان اور ہندوستانی تہذیب کے درمیان ایک خوشگوار رشتہ قائم کر رکھا ہے۔اردو
جہاں گنگا جمنی تہذیب کا اصل سرچشمہ ہے وہیں بدقسمتی سے وہ اس ملک میں دوسری زبان کا
درجہ رکھتی ہے۔قطع نظر اس کے کہ اردو کی اس ثانوی حیثیت کا ذمے دار کون ہے؟اہم بات
یہ ہے کہ اردو زبان کی اہمیت اور مقام سے کسی طرح انکار ممکن نہیں ہے۔انھوں نے کہا
کہ اردو نہ صرف ایک زبان ہے بلکہ دلوں کو جوڑنے والی اور ہماری ہندوستانی شناخت و پہچان
کا بھی اہم ذریعہ ہے۔انھوں نے کہا کہ اردو جہاں ایک زبان،ایک بھاشا اور بولی ہے وہیں
اس کا تعاون یہ ہے کہ اس نے ٹوٹے دلوں،خطوں اور علاقوں کو آپس میں جوڑا ہے ۔انھوں نے
مزید کہا کہ اردو ہندوستانی زبانوں میں سب سے میٹھی اور دلوں کو موہ لینی والی زبان
ہے۔</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">اس پروگرام کے دوسرے خطیب ستیہ وتی کالج ،دہلی یونیورسٹی کے استاذ
ڈاکٹر اشتیاق عارف نے اپنے خطاب میں کہا کہ اردومحبتوں اور خلوص کی زبان ہے۔جہاں یہ
سیکھنے کی زبان ہے وہیں زندگیوں میں اپلی منٹ کی زبان بھی ہے۔اپنے اندر اتارنے اور
اپنی زندگیوں میں ڈھالنے کی زبان ہے۔انھوں نے مزید کہا کہ یہ زبان تہذیب اور ادب سکھاتی
ہے۔رہنے سہنے اور پہننے اوڑھنے تک کے آداب یہ سکھاتی ہے۔</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">مذکورہ پروگرام سے خطاب کر تے ہوئے جواہر لال نہرویونیورسٹی کے ریسرچ
اسکالر عمران عاکف خان نے کہا کہ اردو ہندوستان کی بنیادوں میں شامل زبان ہے۔جس نے
ہندوستانی عمارت کو تھام رکھا ہے۔اس نے انگریزوں سے آزادی اور آزادی کے بعد ملک عزیز
پر پڑنے والی ہر افتاد کا مقابلہ کرتے ہوئے ملک کو بچایاہے۔انھوں نے مزید کہا کہ اردو
ہندوستان کا لباس زیبا اور خوش گوار پیرہن ہے ۔ اگر میں یہ کہوں تو مبالغہ نہ ہوگا
کہ اردو کی حیثیت ہندوستان میں ایسی ہی ہے جس طرح ہمارے بدن میں رگوں اور رگوں میں
دوڑتے ہوئے خون کی حیثیت ہے۔اردو کا فروغ اور اس کی بقا ہماری بقا اور فروغ کی ضمانت
ہے۔ہماری تہذیب کے فروغ کی ضمانت ہے۔انھوں نے مزید کہا کہ اردو کے بغیر ہم اس سماج
و سوسائٹی کا تصور ہی نہیں کر سکتے جسے کلاسک اور معیاری کہا جاسکے۔چنانچہ ہمارے لیے
ضروری ہے کہ ہم ہر سطح اور مقام پر خود کو اردوسے اور اردو کو خود سے جوڑیں۔</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">اس پروگرام سے خطاب کر تے ہوئے قاری محمدہارون صدر اقلیتی مورچہ
بھارتیہ جنتا پارٹی،دہلی پردیش نے بھی خطاب کیا۔انھوں نے کہا کہ اردو کو مٹانے اور
برباد کر نے کی جتنی بھی کوشش ماضی وحال میں کی گئی وہ کبھی بھی کامیاب نہ ہوسکی۔اس
کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ اردو زبان ہماری سوچ اور فکر سے جڑی ہے ۔پھر جس طرح ہماری سوچ اور
فکر کے خلاف ہر کوشش ناکام ہوتی ہے ،اسی طرح اردو کے خلاف اٹھنے والی ہر کوشش بھی۔اردو
سینوں اور دلوں میں گھر کرنے والی زبان ہے۔آنکھوں کو نور اور دل کو سرور بخشنے والی

The genius had passed through the formative period. He had attained maturity as a poet, thinker, seer and crusader who could read the signs of tomorrow in the happenings of today, make predictions, present hard facts and unravel abstruse truths through the medium of poetry and ignite the flame of faith, Selfhood and courage by his own intensity of feeling and force of expression. Khizr-e-Raah (The Guide) occupies the place of pride among the poems he wrote during this period.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">1. केजरीवाल की पार्टी जो सिर्फ हो हल्ला करती हैं इस पार्टी का विकास से कोई लेना देना नहीं हैं ना ही गरीब मजदुर की सुनवाई होती हैं जिसका मुखिया हमेशा झूठ बोलता हैं और वोटर्स को धमकाता हैं।</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">2. कांग्रेस पार्टी जिसने देश में करीब करीब 55 साल राज किया और जनता के साथ हमेशा धोखा किया इस धोखे के कारण ही देश आज करीब करीब कांग्रेस मुक्त हो रहा हैं इस कारण इस पार्टी के नेता अपनी पार्टी को ही छोड़ कर जा रहे</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> हैं<br />3. बीजेपी जिसके मुखिया का काम सिर्फ विकास हैं दिन और रात इस पार्टी का मुखिया विकास की सोचता हैं और 18 -20 घण्टे काम करता है, देश की आजादी के बाद से जो काम नहीं हुए हैं उन्हें करने को दृढ़संकल्प हैं ईमानदार हैं पारदर्शिता में विश्वास करते हैं गरीब और कमजोर वर्ग के उत्थान का बीड़ा उठाया हुआ हैं, देश के मान बढ़ाने का काम करते हैं ऐसे हैं बीजेपी के मुखिया माननीय मोदी जी, मुझे लगता हैं दिल्ली की MCD के विकास के लिए मोदी जी के नेतृत्व में बहुत विकास हो सकेगा और जो भी मेयर बनेंगे वो मोदी जी के दिशा निर्देश में काम करेंगे तथा पिछले सालों में अब तक जो काम नहीं हुए हैं आने वाले 5 सालों में MCD में हो सकेंगे!<br />इन तीनो पार्टीयो में बस बीजेपी ही वो पार्टी हैं जो MCD का कायाकल्प कर सकती हैं और विकास कर सकती हैं।</span></div>

This love will survive against all odds slowly growing on to be something really magnificent and worth cherishing.</span></div>

The poet says that I know you will not be apathetic towards me forever, but it could be that by the time you care to inquire about my well being (or respond to my love); I may be dead and turned to dust. The poet reassuringly tells his beloved, that I understand you will not be indifferent towards me, but who knows I may be dust by the time you get some news of me. One could also interpret it as poet hinting that if his love is not requited he will kill himself for the sake of love and it will be the only news she will get.</span></div>

That one glance is adequate to make me lose interest in the matters of living. Alternatively one can argue that it could mean the exact opposite where the poet says that - just your one glance is not enough for me and for my existence that is unaware/confused and looking for answers. The warmth of the meeting (between the lovers) is no longer than the dance of the flames burning in the night. The warmth (of the company) provides comfort as long as it burns (as long as we are together) but as soon as it burns out (i.e. we separate), the darkness (despair in our relationship) takes over.</span></div>

Ghalib says that yes she is not God-worshiper, she is unfaithful, agreed! One who loves his faith and his heart, why would they go to her street? Ghalib in conversation with someone (presumably the so called keepers of the faith/society). They warn the poet about his beloved's Godless ways and lack of devotion, besides doubting her faithfulness to him as well. The poet with a hint of irritation says that "agreed, she is not god-fearing and its fine if she is unfaithful as well. Why (those who so call love their heart and faith) why do they frequent her street?" Ghalib in other ways hinting that he does not care about his heart and his faith, for he will continue to go after his beloved but those so called moral custodians themselves are aware and maybe frequenting her street and yet preach the exact opposite to him.</span></div>

He says life is all about desires, and it is this desire which defines human existence. He says he has thousands of desire which are so profound that each could consume his life. But in life some desire gets fulfilled while some doesn't. As time passes by, new desires keep getting added in this never ending list of desires. Even if many of his desires are fulfilled, he is never satisfied, coz many still remain unfulfilled, and the ones fulfilled aren’t enough for one lifetime !!!</span></div>

Who knows who will live so long so see this fructify. Who will live so long to see your hairs properly arranged and your small nuances (curls of your hairs could mean the tangled/mysterious ways of your life) to get resolved. The poet says these small niceties/concerns of yours may take forever and who knows if I am alive to see you finally free and giving me the full attention that I deserve.</span></div>

See what struggle a grain of sand has to go through to become a magnificent pearl. The metaphor, the imagery in the lines is simply breathtaking. The poet says that life is full of endless churning (as waves in the vast ocean) and of dangerous obstacles (like the menacing crocodiles on this ocean) and yet my deep love for you and my patience will ultimately make my love, the jewel of my life. This love will survive against all odds slowly growing on to be something really magnificent and worth cherishing.</span></div>

How should my heart remain, until I am consumed by this suffering? What color should I paint my heart with till it dies within the agony of love? What should be the mood/temperament of my heart until you destroy it with your whims and indifference? What kind of emotion should it wear until it is killed?

The poet says that I know you will not be apathetic towards me forever, but it could be that by the time you care to inquire about my well being (or respond to my love); I may be dead and turned to dust. The poet reassuringly tells his beloved, that I understand you will not be indifferent towards me, but who knows I may be dust by the time you get some news of me. One could also interpret it as poet hinting that if his love is not requited he will kill himself for the sake of love and it will be the only news she will get.</span></div>

That one glance is adequate to make me lose interest in the matters of living. Alternatively one can argue that it could mean the exact opposite where the poet says that - just your one glance is not enough for me and for my existence that is unaware/confused and looking for answers. The warmth of the meeting (between the lovers) is no longer than the dance of the flames burning in the night. The warmth (of the company) provides comfort as long as it burns (as long as we are together) but as soon as it burns out (i.e. we separate), the darkness (despair in our relationship) takes over.</span></div>

Ghalib in conversation with someone (presumably the so called keepers of the faith/society). They warn the poet about his beloved's Godless ways and lack of devotion, besides doubting her faithfulness to him as well. The poet with a hint of irritation says that "agreed, she is not god-fearing and its fine if she is unfaithful as well. Why (those who so call love their heart and faith) why do they frequent her street?" Ghalib in other ways hinting that he does not care about his heart and his faith, for he will continue to go after his beloved but those so called moral custodians themselves are aware and maybe frequenting her street and yet preach the exact opposite to him.</span></div>

See what struggle a grain of sand has to go through to become a magnificent pearl. The metaphor, the imagery in the lines is simply breathtaking. The poet says that life is full of endless churning (as waves in the vast ocean) and of dangerous obstacles (like the menacing crocodiles on this ocean) and yet my deep love for you and my patience will ultimately make my love, the jewel of my life. This love will survive against all odds slowly growing on to be something really magnificent and worth cherishing.</span></div>

The poet says that I know you will not be apathetic towards me forever, but it could be that by the time you care to inquire about my well being (or respond to my love); I may be dead and turned to dust. The poet reassuringly tells his beloved, that I understand you will not be indifferent towards me, but who knows I may be dust by the time you get some news of me. One could also interpret it as poet hinting that if his love is not requited he will kill himself for the sake of love and it will be the only news she will get.</span></div>

That one glance is adequate to make me lose interest in the matters of living. Alternatively one can argue that it could mean the exact opposite where the poet says that - just your one glance is not enough for me and for my existence that is unaware/confused and looking for answers. The warmth of the meeting (between the lovers) is no longer than the dance of the flames burning in the night. The warmth (of the company) provides comfort as long as it burns (as long as we are together) but as soon as it burns out (i.e. we separate), the darkness (despair in our relationship) takes over.</span></div>

Ghalib says that yes she is not God-worshiper, she is unfaithful, agreed! One who loves his faith and his heart, why would they go to her street? Ghalib in conversation with someone (presumably the so called keepers of the faith/society). They warn the poet about his beloved's Godless ways and lack of devotion, besides doubting her faithfulness to him as well. The poet with a hint of irritation says that "agreed, she is not god-fearing and its fine if she is unfaithful as well. Why (those who so call love their heart and faith) why do they frequent her street?" Ghalib in other ways hinting that he does not care about his heart and his faith, for he will continue to go after his beloved but those so called moral custodians themselves are aware and maybe frequenting her street and yet preach the exact opposite to him.</span></div>

The poet says these small niceties/concerns of yours may take forever and who knows if I am alive to see you finally free and giving me the full attention that I deserve.</span></div>

This love will survive against all odds slowly growing on to be something really magnificent and worth cherishing.</span></div>

The poet says that I know you will not be apathetic towards me forever, but it could be that by the time you care to inquire about my well being (or respond to my love); I may be dead and turned to dust. The poet reassuringly tells his beloved, that I understand you will not be indifferent towards me, but who knows I may be dust by the time you get some news of me. One could also interpret it as poet hinting that if his love is not requited he will kill himself for the sake of love and it will be the only news she will get.</span></div>

That one glance is adequate to make me lose interest in the matters of living. Alternatively one can argue that it could mean the exact opposite where the poet says that - just your one glance is not enough for me and for my existence that is unaware/confused and looking for answers. The warmth of the meeting (between the lovers) is no longer than the dance of the flames burning in the night. The warmth (of the company) provides comfort as long as it burns (as long as we are together) but as soon as it burns out (i.e. we separate), the darkness (despair in our relationship) takes over.</span></div>

Ghalib says that yes she is not God-worshiper, she is unfaithful, agreed! One who loves his faith and his heart, why would they go to her street? Ghalib in conversation with someone (presumably the so called keepers of the faith/society). They warn the poet about his beloved's Godless ways and lack of devotion, besides doubting her faithfulness to him as well. The poet with a hint of irritation says that "agreed, she is not god-fearing and its fine if she is unfaithful as well. Why (those who so call love their heart and faith) why do they frequent her street?" Ghalib in other ways hinting that he does not care about his heart and his faith, for he will continue to go after his beloved but those so called moral custodians themselves are aware and maybe frequenting her street and yet preach the exact opposite to him.</span></div>

It can however also be taken to mean that when Ghalib seems to be getting over her, she is trying to rekindle the old passions.</span></div>
