Noora Nujum Niyaz
Introduction as a poet/author
Noora is a young UAE based author whose literary voice is shaped by introspection, emotion, and an enduring love for storytelling. Her writing captures the delicate spaces between memory and imagination, childhood and growth, solitude and gratitude. Through poetry and reflective prose, Noora explores the subtle moments that often go unnoticed—transforming them into meaningful narratives that resonate with readers of all ages.
Noora’s journey as an author began in her early teenage years, when writing became her outlet for understanding emotions too deep or delicate to express aloud. What started as a personal form of reflection soon blossomed into a growing body of literary work. By the age of twenty, she had written and published three books, each representing a unique stage of her personal and creative evolution.
Her first book, Treasures of School Days (2022), is a gentle and nostalgic collection of poems drawn from the innocence of childhood and the discoveries of school life. It reflects her earliest voice as a writer—pure, spontaneous, and sincere. This was followed by A Vivid Memory (2024), a two-part poetry collection that journeys from intimate emotional reflections to dreamlike, surreal landscapes of the imagination. Through this work, Noora demonstrated her ability to move fluidly between reality and creative abstraction. Her latest book, Carried with Kindness (2025), stands as a heartfelt tribute to gratitude. It traces the people, gestures, and quiet acts of care that shaped her growth, symbolizing her transition into maturity and deeper self-awareness.

All three books were launched at the Sharjah International Book Fair at Expo Centre Sharjah, one of the most celebrated literary festivals in the region. Published by Saikatham Books, her works have earned admiration for their emotional clarity, relatable themes, and the gentle wisdom woven into her poetry.
Beyond her written achievements, Noora’s identity as an author is closely intertwined with her artistic life. She is also a performing artist and a musical theatre student who draws inspiration from her experiences on stage. Her background in storytelling, voice, and performance enriches her writing with rhythm, expression, and depth. Every poem reflects her awareness of emotion, movement, and human connection—an influence that stems from both literature and theatre.
Noora writes with the belief that every individual carries stories worth telling. Through her books, she hopes to touch hearts, spark reflection, and remind readers that even the smallest moments can leave lasting imprints. With a growing portfolio of published works and an evolving artistic voice, she continues to carve her place in the literary world as a thoughtful, expressive, and deeply authentic young author.
I am currently pursuing my Degree in Musical Theatre at the Sharjah Performing Arts Academy (SPAA).
My literary endeavors commenced in 2022 with the publication of “Treasures of School Days” which was met with encouraging support from readers. This inspired me to write “A Vivid Memory” which also received appreciation.
The success of the two works inspired me to create the third title “Carried with Kindness”.
I am honored that all the three were launched at the Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) a globally significant literary and publishing even held in the Middle East.
Alongside my love for singing, dancing, and painting, writing has always been a way for me to capture moments and emotions. I have been fortunate to see my work and passions recognized in publications such as Khaleej Times and World Arabia, which has encouraged me to keep creating and sharing.
Treasures of School Days
Publisher – Saikatham Books
Treasures of School Days is a collection born from moments when words felt too heavy to speak — when silence asked for expression, and writing became the only way to listen to my own heart. These poems capture fragments of growing up: fleeting thoughts, quiet emotions, and the simple wonders that often go unnoticed in the rush of everyday life.
Within these pages are traces of a child’s curious mind — scattered, spontaneous, and sincere. Some verses reflect days filled with laughter and friendship; others echo the tender ache of reflection and change. Together, they form a mosaic of memories — the kind that stay with us long after the bell rings and the classrooms empty.
This book is not just a recollection of school days, but a reminder of how even the smallest moments can hold meaning. I hope, as you turn each page, you find a piece of your own story somewhere between the lines — a spark of recognition, a smile of nostalgia, or a whisper of gratitude for the journey we all share.
A Vivid Memory

Chapter-1 – Her
Invites readers into a reflective exploration of a young person’s inner world. Through soft, contemplative verses, it reveals the subtle sadness and profound thoughts that accompany daily experiences. The poems offer a poignant look at the challenges and introspections common to youth, touching on feelings and reflections that resonate with many.
Chapter-2 Souls Neverland
This chapter shifts to a more surreal and enigmatic realm, where the familiar becomes strange and thought-provoking. This chapter presents a fantastical landscape where ordinary moments are transformed into bizarre and complex scenes. The poems here challenge readers to delve deeper, often revealing their true meanings only after careful inspection.
Together, these chapters offer a journey from the intimate and introspective to the bizarre and intriguing, celebrating the depth and mystery of both everyday life and the imagination.
Carried with kindness
Publisher – Saikatham Books
This book is a quiet journey of gratitude — a collection of thoughts, memories, and moments that trace the people who have shaped my life. It begins in stillness, at a time when I did not yet see the helping hands that surrounded me. Through each phase, I learned to look closer — to notice the gentle gestures, the quiet encouragements, and the love that built the foundation beneath me.
As the pages unfold, they reflect transformation: from solitude to recognition, from recognition to thankfulness, and from thankfulness to growth. Each chapter marks a stage of becoming — a gradual awakening to the truth that none of us stands alone.
Today, I see myself as a tree — one with deep roots nourished by the kindness of others and branches reaching outward to offer support in return. This book is for every person who has been part of that growth. It is my way of saying thank you — for helping me find strength, for reminding me to love, and for teaching me what it means to stand tall with gratitude.
This book is especially close to my heart—it is a tribute to the many wonderful people who have supported me, guided me, and walked beside me in different stages of my journey. Their kindness is what has helped me grow, and I hope these pages reflect that gratitude.
