Biography

Ain Irfan, born Irfan Ahmad on December 25, 1984, in Khatauli, Uttar Pradesh, is a modern voice in Urdu poetry. He writes under the pen name Ain Irfan and has become known for verses that explore solitude, longing, and inner landscapes.

He writes ghazals and nazms using imagery that is delicate yet powerful. Lines like “bahut nazdik the tasvir mein hum, magar vo fasla jo dikh raha tha” reflect a bittersweet closeness—an intimacy overshadowed by separation. Another piece evokes quiet reflection: “tanha tanha sahmi sahmi khamoshi.” In these lines, there is a feeling of being alone, anxious, yet peaceful.

His poetry resonates with young readers, especially in digital circles where fragments of his work are often shared and commented on. Live poetry sessions add another layer to his presence, where his voice brings a gentle intensity to the words he recites.

Outside these lines, detailed biographical or career milestones are not widely documented. But from what is available, Ain Irfan represents a sensitive and contemporary strand of Urdu poetry—one that finds strength in simplicity and speaks to emotional truths with sincerity.
