Jalaluddin Saaduddin Alvi alias Jalan Matri who is dotingly remembered amongst its fans as Jalan was a Gujarati poet who left for the heavenly abode on January 26, 2018, at Ahmedabad. Jalan was one of the few poets who still wrote poems in the old gazal styles with a blend of Gujarati as well as Urdu vocabulary. Honoured with literary titles like Vali Gujarati Gazal Award and Narsinh Mehta Awards Matri couldn’t study languages formally but started writing poems at the tender age of seven and gave us notable anthologies including Tapish, Sukhanvar, Shukan and various others. His immense contribution to Gujarati literature will forever be reminisced by Gujarati poetry lovers and by CreativeYatra who dedicates its 145th AAW to the masterful poet.
