🌹 Hasnain Mirza (London-based poet & noha khawan)
-
Known in West London majalis for writing and reciting nohay, manqabat and marsiya focused on Ahlulbayt (as).
-
Beyond recitation, he composes original poetry — which is a more lasting contribution, since kalam can spread worldwide.
Recognition by Shabab-ul-Momineen
-
Shabab-ul-Momineen (Karachi-based, internationally recognised noha party) are among the most respected and established noha groups in the world. Their renditions are listened to by millions globally.
-
Them performing two nohay composed by Hasnain Mirza means his poetry has crossed from the UK community into the international noha mainstream.
-
For a poet outside Pakistan (especially from London) to have his kalam taken up by such a prestigious group is indeed a huge achievement and a recognition of both literary quality and devotional impact.
Why it matters
-
It places Hasnain Mirza among a very small group of diaspora poets whose work is acknowledged back in South Asia.
-
His kalam will now reach far wider audiences — in majalis, recordings, and online platforms.
-
It shows the bridging of UK Shi’a literary tradition with the global noha culture.
