"I used to practice and practice with the door open, hoping someone would come by and discover me. I was never the practitioner in the sense of twelve hours a day, but I always thought about music. I think about music all the time."

Ahmad Jamal (1930-2023), from The New York Times

"People get after me because I say there's no such thing as a creative person. This business of - we don't create a fly or a raindrop or a snowflake, but we can reflect creativity. And when we reflect creativity, we discover. And that's the whole thing about life - discovery. And that's what I live for - discovery."

—Ahmad Jamal

urdu poet's obsession with the smell of their lovers has made their poetry fragrantive which every person who read it can smell., and Jaun Saheb never stepped back from mentioning it though.,

As Jaun Elia says -

tere jaane ke ba.ad bhii mai.n ne terii KHushbuu se guftuguu kii hai'

us din pahlii baar hu.aa thaa mujh ko rifaaqat kaa ehsaas jab us ke malbuus kii KHushbuu ghar pahu.nchaane aa.ii hai

JAUN ELIYA

ghar me.n hai aaj tak vahii KHushbuu basii hu.ii lagtaa hai yuu.n ki jaise vo aa kar nahii.n gayaa

SHAHZAD AHMAD

tuu hai pahluu me.n phir tirii KHushbuu ho ke baasii kahaa.n se aatii hai

JAUN ELIYA

aaj bahut din ba.ad mai.n apne kamre tak aa niklaa thaa juu.n hii darvaaza kholaa hai us kii KHushbuu aa.ii hai

JAUN ELIYA

ye tere KHat tirii KHushbuu ye tere KHvaab-o-KHayaal mataa-e-jaa.n hai.n tire qaul aur qasam kii tarah

JAUN ELIYA
