شیخ ولایت علی

شیخ ولایت علی

(سجاد انصاری)

            شیخ ولایت علی مرحوم بی۔اے، ال ال، بی ہمارے ان نوجوانوں میں تھے جن سے قوم کو اپنی جوان بختی کی امید تھی، تعلیم جدید کی اعلیٰ لیاقت کے ساتھ ان کا مشرقی اخلاق و معاشرت عجیب و دلکش تھا ان کی شیریں گفتاری، جس میں سادگی اور ظرافت کا نمک ملا ہوتا تھا، ان کے ہم بزم دوستوں کے لئے عجیب نعمت تھی اور ان کی پر بہار انشا پردازی جس سے کامریڈ اور نیوایرا کے صفحات گل ریز رہتے تھے ہمیشہ کے لئے خزاں رسیدہ ہوگئی، وہ ان لوگوں میں تھے جو حوادث زمانہ اور سختی ہائے ایام کا خندہ جبینی اور ہنسی خوشی کے ساتھ مقابلہ کرتے ہیں، ان کی آزاد روی اور حریت فکری خطرہ کی ہر قید و بند سے بے پروا تھی اور ماہوار وسیع آمدنی کے مالک تھے لیکن ان کے کام دوہن اور جان و تن کے لئے وہ بیگانہ چیز تھی، وہ حقیقت میں مجالس قومی فقرائے وطن اور احباب و اعزہ کا حق تھی، غفرلہ اﷲ و رحمہ، جناب سجاد انصاری کے ہم ممنون ہیں کہ ان کی نظم نے ہمارے ماتم کا فرض ادا کردیا۔ (سید سليمان ندوی)

اے پیکر ابنساطِ ہستی!

تو حسن تبسم جہاں تھا

اک صبح امید کی جھلک تھی

اک حرف پیام آسمان تھا

سیماب نشاط تھا سراپا

دیوانۂ عیش کامران تھا

تھیں دل میں بہار کی فضائیں

گو سامنے منظر خزاں تھا

ہر بات میں بذلہ سنجیوں سے

اک سحرِ تجلّی بیان تھا

تیرے اندازِ گفتگو میں

اک محشر حسن داستان تھا

تحریر کی دلفریبیوں میں

افسونِ بہار بوستان تھا

ﷲ رے مذاق نکتہ سنجی

گویا شاعر کا راز دان تھا

اک انجمن صفات تھا دل

Impact of Maternal Depression on Psychological Development of Infants

High rates of postnatal depression have been reported in the developing world. It has also been reported that more than 200 million children under 5 years of age in developing countries do not reach their developmental potential. This study examined the possibility of maternal depression as a risk factor for psychological development of infants. There is likely to be a particularly high risk during the first year of life, not only because this is a time of increased susceptibility of mothers to a depressive episode but also because it is during this period that the infant requires most responsive care. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate this association in a representative rural community- based sample in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, using a natural groups design. 160 infants of mothers diagnosed to have depressive disorder in the third trimester, and 160 infants of mothers psychologically well in the third trimester, were followed up for one year. Mothers’ mental state was re-assessed postnatally at 2, 6 and 12 months using the WHO Schedule for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN). While, Bayley Scales of Infant Development were administered to the infants of both depressed and non-depressed mothers at the age of 12 months. Information was also collected about demographics, birth, socio-economic, and socio-cultural variables. Significantly lower developmental scores (Bayley mental, motor & behaviour rating scores) were found through univariate analysis in the infants at 12 months age who were exposed to maternal depression at 2 months postnatally as compared to infants of non-depressed mothers at 2 months postnatally. This association did remain significant for motor and behaviour rating scores at multivariate analysis, while mental scores did not remain significant along with significant association with infants having low birth weight and mothers having 4 or more children. Maternal depression is a significant risk factor of poor psychological development of infants in the first year of life. It may also be a significant marker for other infant risk factors such as low birth weight and maternal risk factor of having 4 or more children. The findings have implications for both infant and maternal mental health policy and practice.
