منزلِ شوق (نظم)

دہر کی نفرتوں کا ستایا ہوں میں
جستجو ہے مجھے الفت و مہر کی
ایک یوٹوپیائی جہاں ہو جہاں
فاختہ کا نشیمن سلامت رہے
اس کی پرواز پر کوئی پہرہ نہ ہو
ہر سو چاہت کے، احساس کے گل کھلیں
امن کا گیت گائیں جہاں پر سبھی
میری تو منزلِ شوق ہے بس یہی

Al-Sukākī’s Classification of Metaphor and Qurānic Discourse

The present study is divided into two main sections; the first section will give a general overview about the figurative language and more focus on metaphor (istiᶜārah in Arabic) because the metaphor is considered as one of the most literary devices and the main category of the figurative language. So in this study has given various definitions of figurative language and metaphor according to Muslims and Non-Muslims linguists and along with this explained Al-sukākī’s classification of metaphor which is little close to Al-Jurjānī’s classification of metaphor and view respectably among Muslims and Non-Muslims linguists. The second section of this study deals with metaphors given in Holy Qur'ān, which are denoted according to Al-sukākī’s classification in this respect. In this reference the verses are presented with detailed tafsīrī literature so the reader could well comprehend the purposes and the classical aspect of metaphors in text and also could evaluate linguistic architecture of  Holy Qur'ān.

Fertilizer Management Strategies in Spring Planted Sugarcane Saccharum Officinarum L.

Sugarcane is a tropical plant (Humbert, 1968) and requires warm cum humid climate for its good growth. However, it is being grown over the sub tropics land surface of earth between latitude 30o N and 35o S (Nazir, 1994). Pakistan lies in sub tropics with semi arid climatic conditions where sugarcane is grown on an area of 1.241 million hectares with a total annual stripped cane production of 63.92 million tonnes giving an average stripped cane yield of 51.51 t ha-1 (Govt. of Pakistan, 2008). Two field experiments were conducted for two consecutive years during 2006 and 2007 at Farm area, Sugarcane Research Institute, Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad, Pakistan, to explore the production potential of spring planted sugarcane at higher levels of N and K, evaluate fertilizer application timing and to improve the nutrient (N & K) use efficiency. The experiments were laid out according to Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) having three replications with a net plot size of 6 m x 8 m. Results revealed significant effect of dose and time of nitrogen application on all agronomic and physiological traits except germination, number of shoots, number of internodes, NAR, HI and all quality parameters which were statistically non significant. The maximum stripped cane yield (108 & 101 t ha1) and sugar yield (12.8 & 12.1 t ha1) were recorded at T7 (126kg N ha-1 at sowing + 126 kg N ha-1 at 90 DAS) during 2006 and 2007, respectively. K2O level and time of its application has significant effect on all agronomic, physiological and quality parameters except germination, number of shoots, plant height, number of internodes, NAR, HI, fiber %, cane juice % and weight of bagasse % during both the years. The maximum stripped cane yield (116 & 107 t ha-1) was recorded at T7 (84 kg K2O ha-1 at sowing + 84 kg K2O ha-1 at 90 DAS) during 2006 and 2007, respectively. Sugar yield (14.7 t ha-1) was maximum at T7 (84 kg K2O ha-1 at sowing + 84 kg K2O ha-1 at 90 DAS) in 2006, while it was highest (14.1 t ha-1) in T10 (112 kg K2O ha-1 at sowing + 112 kg K2O ha-1 at 90 DAS) during 2007.
