"Noor Mohammed, more commonly known as Noon Meem Danish or N.M. Danish born in 1958 in Karachi, Pakistan, is a Pakistani poet of African and Baloch descent. He was raised in a working class family in Lyari, a largely Baloch neighbourhood, which he describes as "Karachi's Harlem".
He did his early education at the Okhai Memon School in Kharadar, and began writing poetry in 1974. His African appearance often led people around him to assume he was a foreigner; he describes being asked frequently where he was from and why he spoke Urdu so well. After receiving his master's degree in Urdu from the University of Karachi in 1984, he began teaching at the Urdu College.
Bachay, Titli, Phool, his first collection of poems, was published in 1997. He quickly garnered recognition for the anger he expressed through his works, in which he often made reference to his experiences as a member of the African diaspora; his work attracted the attention of leading Urdu critic Shamsur Rahman Farooqi, who had them published in Indian literary journal Shabkhoon."
