Irfan Ansari
Founder, Nauha Lyrics Hub
I'm Irfan Ansari, the person behind Nauha Lyrics Hub. I grew up with the majlis — the sound of a nauha could silence a whole hall before I understood the words. This site exists to keep those words alive and accurate.
Nauha Lyrics Hub does two things. First: nauha lyrics you can actually rely on — checked line by line, available in Roman Urdu, Urdu script, Hindi and English translation, with the reciter credited every time. Second: plain-language articles about the world around the nauha — Karbala, azadari, the Islamic calendar, and the people whose names we hear every Muharram.
Lyrics are transcribed and cross-checked with care. Reciters and their recitations are credited; if a lyric is ever wrong, it gets fixed when readers point it out.
What this site promises
- Lyrics are transcribed carefully and credited to the reciter.
- Articles about Karbala and azadari are written respectfully, for readers of any background.
- Four scripts and formats — Roman, Urdu, Hindi, English — so nothing is lost in translation.
- No sensationalism. This content is sacred to many people, including me.
If you find a lyric line that is wrong, please send the correction through the Contact page — accurate words matter here more than anything.
