ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 14th Dec, 2022 ) :Renowned urdu poet and scholar Jaun Elia was remembered on the occasion of his birth anniversary on Wednesday.
Jaun Elia was born on December 14, 1931 in an illustrious family in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh. He was the youngest of his siblings. His father Allama Shafiq Hasan Elia was deeply involved in art and literature and also an astrologer and a poet. This literary environment modelled him along the same lines and he wrote his first Urdu couplet when he was just 8. He was fluent in Arabic, English, Persian, Sanskrit, and Hebrew.
Elia migrated to Pakistan in 1957 and made Karachi his home. His first poetry collection Shayad was published in 1991 when he was 60. The second collection of his poetry Ya'ani was published posthumously in 2003.
Later his companion, Khalid Ansari, compiled and published his three consecutive collections, Gumaan in 2004, Lekin in 2006, and Goya in 2008.
His synthesis of this knowledge into his poetry differentiates him from his modern contemporaries. He died after a protracted illness on November 8, 2002, in Karachi.
