Author Info
Shamoon Mamnoon was born in 1937 in the city of Burhanpur, capital of the 14th
century Aadilshahi dynasty, and a thriving cradle of Dakani/Urdu poetry in 16th
century India. From a very young age, he was deeply immersed in the Urdu
language. He grew up with a mother who loved books, a grandfather who was the
founder of an Urdu high school in Burhanpur, a paternal grandfather who was the
dean of an Arabic university in Surat, Gujrat, and the influence of an older brother
who deeply appreciated Urdu literature.
Shamoon’s own interest in the fine arts led him to pursue degrees from Barauda
University in Architecture, Planning and Visual Design. Under the guidance of his
brother, Shamoon continued his education at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(M.I.T.) where he acquired his professional degree in Architecture, which was to
shape his professional career as an Architect and Planner who contributed to many
significant projects including initial photo-mapping and physical surveys, and city
and town planning on the Eastern coast during the formative years of the United
Arab Emirates.
Shamoon’s personal passion for creativity continued to deepen over time as he
came to understand the value of discernment and artistic critique which guided his
evolution as both an aesthetic and expressionist. He is an exhibited artist, with
calligraphy and abstract works rendered in wood and mixed media. His lifelong
immersion in, and love for Urdu literature finally coalesced into his emergence as a
poet. He now wields words and metaphors to express his thoughts through the
medium of carefully crafted couplets. His evolution continues as he embraces the
dual processes of creative expression and critique in the pursuit of constant
improvement. Nawa-e-Junoon is his first collection of poetry
