A few months ago, Farhat Abbas Shah, a poet and journalist from Lahore, launched a critical campaign on social media against Jaun Elia. Farhat Sahib alleged that there is no broader vision, uniqueness or philosophical depth in Jaun's poetry, which solely focused onrhetoric and was pessimistic. Farhat Abbas Shah was of the view that Jaun is neither a great poet nor a good human, and touting Jaun as a great poet is a planned scheme, which will make our youth purposeless and negative. Many other literary figures joined the bandwagon, harshly ostracizing the poet who has inspired many writers in the contemporary era.

نیا ایک رشتہ پیدا کیوں کریں ہم، بچھڑنا ہے؟ تو جھگڑا کیوں کریں ہم .

خاموشی سے ادا ہوں رسم دوری، کوئی ہنگامہ برپا کیوں کریں ہم .

یہ کافی ہے کہ ہم دشمن نہیں ہیں، وفاداری کا دعوا کیوں کریں ہم .

 وفا، اخلاص، قربانی، محبّت، اب ان لفظوں کا پیچھا کیوں کریں ہم .
