Jaun Elia: The Legend -Mufti Abu Layth

well in the words of John Ilya Sahib I was hearing one of his poems today that bus file Anka bought a higher car engine up miss Rajan car he is a motto Tai Yi that learn the patterns of poetry that's what you ought to do don't try to rip off this stuff of Joan Elia that's a legend a legend people a legend there's

a line of his that you see the thing I really like about this poet let me let me share some while some people are tuning in let me talk a bit about this this legend to you why I kind of take a liking to him you see John Elia has a kind of he's a a poet from the Indian subcontinent he spelled his name not John but J aun John like that but I think it may be equivalent to the English John because I'm assuming he came from a Christian kind of background

although later on in life I'm pretty sure he was either agnostic or atheist later on in his life but he comes from a place in roja in India and then he migrates to Karachi Pakistan and then he migrates to the buy UAE and then he kind of floats in between and and he passes his life in this state of like a wonder I guess but he touches up on certain elements within his poetry that are just kind of brutal truths that normal poets

don't dare touch up on they don't do you see for poets quite often they paint an amazing picture so they may be describing something or somebody very beautiful maybe kind of describing a woman or a I don't know some scenic kind of thing and they may give illustris words and that's quite common for poets they may be speaking of I don't know epics or things like this but with John there's a whole there's a very kind of there's a reality that's all too real and a bit

too dark sometimes an almost a very self-destructive nature about him that resonates with a lot of his fans and a lot of people who are really they infatuated by him this kind of loneliness I guess that he has that echoes from his words so the way he says things like he'll have you know lines like besakih fancy car hey homina Jess Emilia will say ah each ear that I've only really mastered one skill

and that is whosoever you meet leave them upset or disheartened things like this is whole kind of it's very it has a a tragedy but which is so real in the real world like he has in his line the way he expresses somebody who for example loves him and he says and they want a state of companionship so he has a line a poem where he says there a teak hillock in much coal I

selected that companionship is fine like I have no problem but he says but it appears to me as such don't O'Meara Sartre hokey Metin Hara jungle that he says that admittedly you will get to be with me but I will still remain alone there is just a brutal reality sometimes - to his words that are so Wow the epic and he has this line in which he really

brings home a sense of tragedy I'll shed is with you he says that bad theta Johnny John dil mera ha a jump summer yard the reheated eeeh harm Peter 30-yard be gay you know I love funny but it's so tried he's saying in this poem that after you'd left like you'd gone for good he says that there was a strange atmosphere within my

heart that this like in my heart this is where your memory is resided but this is where they live in my heart and then eventually they too left and you see that is so interesting that seldom will you see a poet touch up on things like this that the true tragedy wasn't even the loss but it was the state of indifference it was the state that even the sad memories will dissipate and disappear and that was the true sense of

loss amazing very profound this that reline actually reminds me of there's a line a similar poem by a balata here with the arab poet who says who's do you often just known for his very ascetic very hermit kind of lifestyle it gets a bit boring sometimes but but he has a line like that well he says say you are although on victory what wounds are more dirty well yeah the still body little Holly Holly know that he says eventually

even my let alone my love like he says that will people will move away from me but even my memories will be forgotten and those to whom I was beloved somebody else will be beloved to them but in these words he captures a tragedy that is so real anyway with these words let's commence people let's commence right Omar Khayyam if you're looking for crotchety Allah I'll check out all the clea

but I have I find some words in certain people like Joni Lea and people like this very just so gripping I I must say I do find them very incredibly grouping but nevertheless let's do
