Lekin By Jon Ailiya Free Download
Jon Ailiya was born on 14 December 1931 in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh. He was the youngest of his siblings. His father, Shafiq Hasan Elia, was involved in art and literature and also an astrologer and a poet. This literary environment modeled him along the same lines, and he wrote his first Urdu couplet when he was just 8. As a young man he was interested in Islamic history.
His first poetry collection Shayad was published in 1991, when he was 60. His preface in this collection provided deep insights into his works and the culture within which he was expressing his ideas. The preface can also be considered as a fine example of modern Urdu prose. 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. An eminent Urdu literary critic, Muhammad Ali Siddiqui, has called Ailiya one of the three most eminent ghazal poets of Urdu of the second half of the twentieth century. Jon Ailiya was an open anarchist and nihilist in generally a conservative and religious society. His elder brother Rais Amrohvi, himself a poet and influential intellectual, was murdered. Here is his one of the best poetry book "Lekin". Do download, read, enjoy & share it.
