Jaun vs Jaun — A Musical Theatre Play Inspired by the Poetry of Jaun Elia

Jaun vs Jaun is a musical theatre play coming to Karachi, inspired by the poetry of the legendary Urdu poet Jaun Elia — presented by Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi in collaboration with ZAHRSSS Productions. Written and performed by Zakiullah Khan alongside Zarqa Naz and a live music team, the production invites audiences to discover Jaun Elia's verse through dramatic performance. Both performers strive to capture the essence of his poetry, wrestling with his spirit on stage as the audience is drawn into his world of love and longing. Tonight, we gather to celebrate the evening in honor of Jaun. You may know him only by name — much as these performers themselves once did. By the end of this evening, you will come to know Jaun for yourself.
