Hafeez-ul-Rehman –, known by his pen name Nushoor Wahidi (Urdu: {{nq|نشور وحیدی; sometimes spelled Nushoor Wahedi or Nushoor Vahidi), was an Indian Urdu poet.
Born in 1912 in the village of Sheikhpur, Ballia District, United Province (renamed as Uttar Pradesh after the Indian independence), Wahidi had seven siblings. He received his early education at home.
Wahidi had begun to compose poems from an early age and by the age of 13 had become known in his locality as a poet.[1]
Wahidi was in a poetry session featuring the famous poet Jigar Moradabadi. Jigar Moradabadi had been reciting poems for some time and desired to take a break. Wahidi offered to come on stage and recite a few of his own poems while Jigar Moradabadi did so. It was in this forum that Nushoor was first recognized by the literary circles as a poet.
Nushoor published several compilations of Urdu poetry and a volume on philosophy, named the Sabah-e-hind.
Wahidi died in 1983. The Indian prime minister, Indira Gandhi, personally called his family to condole his death.
A park in the city of Kanpur, India has been named in his honor.
