Abstract:

Anjum Manpuri (1881-1958) was born and brought up in an educated family in Gaya, Bihar. He was christened Noor Muhammad but he chose to use Anjum Manpuri as his nom de plume. He received initial training at home, in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. Shahi Madrasa in Muradabad was his first alma mater. His quest for ilm (knowledge) led him to Nadwatul Uloom (Lucknow). Maulana Shibli Numani conducted Manpuri’s dastarbandi at his home in Moryaghat (Gaya) in 1916.
