Nomaan Shauque

Nomaan Shauque was born on 2 July 1965 in Arrah, a city in Bihar. He grew up immersed in the linguistic and cultural richness of that region, which nurtured his early interest in poetry. As he grew older, he trained as a broadcaster and began a career in radio where he connected with audiences through his voice and poetic sensibility.

Over time, Nomaan developed a reputation for writing across both Urdu and Hindi. He published four important books of poetry, including Ajnabi Sa’aton Ke Darmiyan, Freezer Mein Rakhi Shaam, Jalta Shikara Dhoondhne Mein and Apne Kahe Kinare. His work increasingly reflected the sensibilities of modernity and post-modern thought, moving beyond traditional forms to embrace more personal and reflective styles.

His poetry is known for speaking directly to inner emotion while maintaining clarity. Some of his couplets express human experience with striking simplicity.
