Abstract:

Mian Jhulli belonged to the second half of the eighteenth century. He developed his taste for Punjabi poetry, benefitting from the company of Mian Siddique Lali. He wrote about two prominent tribes of the Kirana region. His legendary epic was titled, "Lalian Lakkan di Var". His "Var" can declared as an improtant contribution to the genre in the eighteenth century poetry. His poetry bore a great testimony to the fact that Punjabi poetry was a living reality in that period. The people used to listen poetry and appreciate it with a great deal of enthusiasm. His poetry also highlighted the rule of poet "Var" in upholding values like truth and justice commitment to these values added a sense of honour and stature of the poet.
