التجاء

بخش دے ساری خطائیں سن لے میری التجاء

مانگتا تجھ سے دعا  ہے اک  میرا دل ٹوٹا ہوا

میں سزا سے چھوٹ جاؤں یہ تو ممکن ہی نہیں

کون سا  ہیں  ایسا  گناہ  جو  نہ  ہو میں  نے کیا

ہر طرف مایوس ہوکر آگئے ہم تیرے حضور میں

اب تیرا در چھوڑ  کر جائے گا کہاں یہ بندہ تیرا

رشتے ناطے دوستی بیکار  ثابت  ہوئے یہاں

سب سے بڑھ کر آگر ہے مالک بس تیرا آسرا

کس میں ہے طاقت کرئے جو دور میری مشکلیں

نہیں بن سکتا کوئی  آدم زاد  کبھی مشکل کُشا

میری امیدیں تو غیر سے ہی وابستہ رہی خوامخواہ

ورنہ ہر نعمت مجھے  تیرے  ہی کرم  سے  ہوئی عطا

عرض اتنی سی ہے یا ربّ وہ گھڑیاں آسان ہوں

جب فرشتہ موت  کا ہوگا  میرے  سر  پر  کھڑا

ہے  نہیں  کوئی عمل  میرا جو دکھلاتا  تجھے

                                                  ساتھ میرے کچھ نہ ہوگا بس گناہوں کے سوا

اندھا بنا کر مجھے اُس  دن روزِ  محشر میں اٹھانا یا ربّ

کیونکہ منہ دکھاؤں میں کیسے جب سامنے ھوگا مصطُفٰے

ہے یہ خاکسار کی آخری خواہش  یوں موت ہوں 

کہ نام ہونٹوں پر ہو تیرا سر ہو سجدے میں میرا

 

پروردگارِ عالم

پروردگارِ عالم

پروردگارِ  عالم  تیرا  ہی ہے سہارا    تیرے سوا جہاں میں کوئی نہیں ہمارا

نوح  کا  سفینہ  تو نے طوفان  سے بچایا

دنیا  میں  تو  ہمیشہ  بندوں کے  کام  آیا

مانگی خلیل نے جب تجھ سے دعا خدایا

آتش  کو  تو  نے  فوراً  اک  گلستان  بنایا

مولیٰ  تیرے  کرم  کا   کوئی  نہیں  کنارہ

پروردگارِ  عالم  تیرا  ہی ہے سہارا    تیرے سوا جہاں میں کوئی نہیں ہمارا
یونس کو تو نے مچھلی کے پیٹ سے نکالا
تو نے  ہی مشکلوں میں ایوب کو سنبھالا
الیاس  پر   کرم   کا   تو   نے   کیا   اجالا
ہر  التجاء  نے  تیری رحمت  کو ہیں ابھارا
تو  نے  صدا  الٰہی  بگڑی  کو  ہیں  سنوارا
پروردگارِ  عالم  تیرا  ہی ہے سہارا    تیرے سوا جہاں میں کوئی نہیں ہمارا
یوسف کو  تو  نے  مولا دی قید  سے رہائی
یعقوب  کو   دوبارہ   شکلِ   پِسر   دکھائی
بہتی  ہوئی ندی میں موسیٰ کی  راہ بنائی
تو نے صلیب پر بھی عیسیٰ کی جان بچائی
محمد کی حیاتِ طیبہ سے مٹائی ہر گمراہی
بدولت رحمتِ قرآن ہر اشیاء کی جان بچائی
اللّٰہ!  تیری   رحمت  کا  نہیں   ہیں   شمارہ
پروردگارِ  عالم  تیرا  ہی ہے سہارا    تیرے سوا جہاں میں کوئی نہیں ہمارا

Computer (Definitions)

Computer (Imp Terms)

• What is a Computer :- The word " Computer" actually comes from the word "Compute" which means to calculate So, the word "Computer" means a calculating device or machine.With the help of this machine all Arithmetic operations are easily and accurately solved within no time.
• Computer is an electronic device, which can perform several tasks simultaneously. Or It is an electronic machine , developed by man to reduce work load. Or It is an electronic machine which accepts raw data or inputs then processing on the them and displays the required outputs or information.

• Who invented the Computer :- It was invented by "Charles Babbage" in 1833. But it's name was first Analytical Engine at that time later became it a computer.

• What is an Abacus :- An Abacus is the first well known calculating device developed by chinese for quick calculations. It is used for counting numbers for calculation.

• What is the Binary Number System :- Computers use the Binary Number System for storing numbers.There are only two digits "0" and "1" in this System. The base or radix of this system is "2" two.

• Binary Number System :- '0' and '1'  (Only Two(2) digits) ; Base = 2  ; e.g. 1101 , 1111, 1001 etc.

• Decimal Number System :- 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9  (Only Ten(10) digits)  ; Base = 10   ;     e.g. 123, 451, 100, 136 etc 
•  i) 236 = 2x 10^² + 3x 10^¹ + 6x10^0 =236.

• Hexadecimal Number System :- 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F (Only Sixteen (16) digits)  ;  Base = 16 ;  e.g. 12B, 10A, 13E, 9F etc.

• Octal Number System :-  0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (Only Eight(8) digits)  ;  Base= 8

e.g. 

I) Convert Binary Number "1101" into a Decimal Number:

1x2^³ + 1x2^² + 0x2^¹ + 1x2^0

= 8 + 4 + 0 + 1

= 13

II) Convert Decimal Number "13" into a Binary Number:

1x 10^¹ + 3x 10^0

= 10 + 3 x 1

= 13

=>  13/2 = 6 rem 1

=>    6/2 = 3 rem 0

=>    3/2 = 1 rem 1

=>     2 cannot divide 1 properly

=>    Here we get remainders "1101" and it is of form Binary Number.

III) Convert Binary Number "1101" into a Hexadecimal Number:

=>   1101 (0001 0001 0000 0001) (Binary

=>   1x 2^³ + 1x 2^² + 0x 2^¹ + 1x 2^0

=>    8 + 4 + 1   = 13  (Decimal Number)

=>    13 (0001 0011) = C  (Hexadecimal)

• What is a CD :- A CD (Compact Disc) is a plastic disc used for storing information. It is a popular moveable media of the computer that has a capability of storing all the records.
• What is a CPU :- A CPU is a Central Processing Unit commonly known as CPU. It is the brain of a Computer. It performs the basic Arithmetic and Logic functions and controls the overall functioning of the System.CPU consists of two parts namely, Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) and Control Unit (CU).It is a metallic box that does all the work, all the thinking , all the processing of the Computer.
• What is an ALU :- ALU stands for Arithmetic and Logic Unit, takes care of all the mathematical and logical functions done by the computer.
• Logical functions = Comparisons   e.g.  4 < 7 = true ; 7< 4 = False etc
• Arithmetic operations = +,-,÷,x        e.g. 4+6 =10 ; 6-3 = 3 ; 3x8 = 24 ; 10÷2 =5

Calculas (A branch of Maths)

Calculas (a branch of Maths)

     It is a mathematics of change. Calculas was invented in the 17th century by Isaac Newton of U.K. and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz of Germany. Newton applied the calculas to formulate his laws of motion and gravitation.

1)  Limits :

      lim x—>a  f(x)    ( Where x—>a " x tends to "a")

      Difference "D" :

       (x—>a) : Means that (x) gets nearer and nearer to (D).

       (x=0) : Means that (x) takes the value (D).

E.g. lim x–>2   x²- 4/ (x-2)
    = lim x–>2  (x+2)(x-2)/(x-2)
    = lim x–>2  (x+2)     (bcuz (x-2) is concelled )
    = 2+2 = 4

2) Properties of limits :
     Let (f) and (g) be two functions of x then,

• For any constant C

      lim x–>a  C  =  C

• lim x–>a [f(x)+g(x)] = lim x–>a  f(x) + lim x–>a  g(x)
• lim x–>a [f(x)- g(x)] = lim x–>a  f(x) - lim x–>a  g(x)
• lim x–>a [k f(x)] = k lim x–>a f(x)  where "k" is any Real Number.
• lim x–>a [f(x).g(x)] = [lim x–>a f(x)][lim x–>a g(x)]
• lim x–>a [f(x)/g(x)] = [lim x–>a f(x)]/ [lim x–>a g(x)]     Provided lim x–>a  g(x) ≠ 0
