میں صحنِ دل کے پت جھڑ کو بہارِ جاوداں کر لوں


میں صحنِ دل کے پت جھڑ کو ، بہارِ جاوداں کر لوں
محبت جانِ عالمؐ کی ، اگر روحِ رواں کر لوں

غم و آلامِ دنیا سے ، ذرا سا بھی جو گبھرائے
تو یادِ مونسِ جاںؐ سے ، میں دل کو شادماں کر لوں

سجائی بزمِ عالم ؛ جنؐ کی خاطر ؛ خالقِ کُل نے
اُنھیؐ کا ذکر کرنے کو ، میں بزمِ دوستاں کر لوں

سمائی نکہتِ بادِ بہاری میں مہک جنؐ کی
اُنھیںؐ سے خوشبوئیں لے کر میں دل کو گلستاں کر لوں

یہی سالک کو لے کر جا رہا ہے منزلِ حق پر
اسی نقشِ قدم کو چوم کر ، منزل نشاں کر لوں

اِدھر کر لوں زبانِ اشک سے عرضِ تمنا بھی
اُدھر چشمِ تصور میں سنہری جالیاں کر لوں

ادب گاہِ عقیدت میں کہاں الفاظ جچتے ہیں
’’طریقہ سب سے بہتر ہے کہ اشکوں کو زباں کر لوں‘‘

دلِ بے تاب کے لمحات اُنؐ کی یاد میں گزریں
جہانِ رنگ و بُو میں کیوں انھیں میں رائیگاں کر لوں

دلِ فرقت زدہ عرفانؔ! اُنؐ کے ذکر سے خوش ہو
میں صبح و شام اُنؐ کے نام کو وردِ زباں کر لوں

مکالمہ بین المذاہب شرائط، مقاصد جديد

Now the whole world is the global village. The science has brought revolution in every field of life. Man has made a lot of things for his comforts, discomforts, reliefs and destruction. Now the time has come for us to take evolutionary steps to save us from giant’s destruction, terrorism, extremism, intolerance and unrest which are the machinations of complete annihilation over the earth, which needs cosmopolitanism on our part For this purpose, dialogue can play a vital role.

The barriers which come across while promulgating cosmopolitanism and expatriation is seemed to be is the double standard of the west, that promotes colonialism, terrorism, extremism and economical support of missionaries and these things are the real problems for those human beings who take serious trenchant and serious efforts to achieve dialogical goals cannot achieve it. The role western media plays; is not supportive to this nation. Western world especially American should use her hegemony to make world worth living and worth seeing to the coming generation.

Self-Censorship and Journalism Practice in Mainstream Media in Kenya

This study examines the relationship between self-censorship and the practice of journalism in Kenya's mainstream media by answering the following questions: What factors drive self-censorship in Kenya's media? What impact does self-censorship have on the practice of journalism? And are journalists willing to self-censor? The study also discusses the findings of different scholars on self-censorship in Africa and other continents. Kenya has one of the most robust and pluralistic media in Africa, however, it still faces challenges in achieving its full potential as a public watchdog. The findings of this study show that self-censorship is a serious threat to the practice of journalism, the practice is linked to the diminishing trust in the media as well as the declining consumption of news content. The study sheds light on the major factors that lead journalists to self-censor categorizing them into three broad components namely: Institutional (ownership and editorial policies), National (politics, economic and legal factors), and personal/cultural factors. Journalists are forced into self-censoring by power players who include media owners, advertisers, the government and politicians. The power players have made regulations meant to put journalists under control, those who dare not to obey are punished. Besides, media organizations need advertisement revenue for survival thus they accept whatever corporate organizations, the state, and politicians tell them to do in exchange for advertising money. This has led to media owners and managers forcing journalists to work under certain policies that influence them to censor themselves. As a result, journalists choose not to write against the interest of power players. They hide facts, leave out information they think will upset the power players and are not willing to work on sensitive stories which they cannot write truths about. The study adopted a mixed-methods research approach, the method provides a better chance to understand whether dishonorable journalistic practices, as well as the utilization of media organizations by several vested interests, are responsible for self-censorship among journalists. The study recommends that media organizations should focus on: production of quality news content, championing for the full implementation of Article 34 in Kenya's Constitution on press freedom and adhere to it, regulate media ownership, and align editorial policies to the journalistic principles.
