Jon Elia - The finest poet of our time - Guzergah-e-khayal Group

Jon Elia was the finest and most sophisticated poet of our time. See some of his 'qata'at'

hay mohabbat hayat ke lazat
warna kuch lazat-e-hayat nahe
kia ijaazat hay aik baat kahoon
wo.... magr khair koi baat nahe

Meri jab bhe nazr parti hay tujh per
meri gulfaam, jan-e-dil rubai
meray ji main ye aata hay ke mal doon
tery galoon pe neeli roshnai

Sharm, dehshat, jhijhak, preeshaani
naaz se kaam kyon nahe laiteen
'aap', 'wo', 'ji', 'magr' ye sab kia hay
tum mera naam kyon nahee laiteen

Jon Elia ka andaaz kuch kuch Inshaulllah Khan se milta hay.. Insha kehtay hain

Gar nazneen ke kehnay se mana bura ho kuch
meri tarf dhaikyey main nazneen sahi
