INNA LILLAHEE WA INNA ELEHEE RAJEEOON
Mrs. Sarwar Gilani was a professor of Urdu & Farsi languages and literature and
has been a profound influence in Noshi’s development as an outstanding poet,
intellectual and a strong human being. Noshi was said to be very close to her
mother.
Ms Noshi Gilani is currently living in San Francisco and had recently returned from an extended holiday in Pakistan.
This year, Noshi was invited to attend Urdu Society’s International Mushaira on September 9 in Sydney but was enable to attend due to personal reasons.
