Early life

Jaun Elia was born Syed Sibt-e-Ashgar Naqvi[3] on 14 December 1931 in Amroha, United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, British Raj.[4] His father, Shafiq Elia, was a scholar of literature and astronomy well-versed in the Arabic, English, Persian, Hebrew and Sanskrit languages, and who corresponded with leading intellectuals like Bertrand Russell.[5] He was the youngest of his siblings. Rais Amrohvi was his elder brother. Indian film director Kamal Amrohi was his first cousin.[6]
Described as a child prodigy, he was initially educated at the Syed-ul-Madaris in Amroha, a madrassah associated with the Darul Uloom Deoband, despite his family being Shia.[7]
During his youth, Pakistan became an independent Muslim state. Being a communist, Elia was averse to the idea, but finally accepted it as a compromise.[8] He migrated to Pakistan in 1957, and decided to live in Karachi. Poet Pirzada Qasim said:
Jaun was very particular about language. While his diction is rooted in the classical tradition, he touches on new subjects. He remained in quest of an ideal all his life. Unable to find the ideal eventually, he became angry and frustrated. He felt, perhaps with reason, that he had squandered his talent.[9]
He began writing poetry at the age of 8 but published his first collection, Shayad, when he was 60.[10]
He married writer Zahida Hina in 1970[11] and they separated in 1992.[1
