Biography
I was born in Karachi, Pakistan on December 22, 1977 (10th Muharram 1398 – Sham-e-Ghareeban), into a Syed family. My father, Syed Zafaryab Ali Zaidi, and my mother have been my teachers and guides from the very beginning until now. I have two brothers and two sisters. I am married and blessed with three children: Syeda Hooria Fatima, Syed Muhammad Sajjad Zaidi, and Syed Mesum Ali Zaidi.
I am deeply thankful to Allah and Panjtan-e-Pak (A.S.) for all the achievements mentioned below.
I completed my early education at Karachi Day High School (1981–1992), followed by Intermediate studies at Government National College, Karachi (1993–1995), and then Graduation from Karachi University (1996–1999). Later, I obtained a Diploma in Media Production / Graphic Animation (2011–2012).
I began reciting Nohas and Manqabats at the age of five, along with my brothers Irfan Zaidi and Zeeshan Zaidi, under my father’s group of reciters named “Anjuman-e-Sada-e-Hussain (A.S.)”. At the age of 12, I recited in “Anjuman-e-Ghumkhwaran-e-Asghar (A.S.)”, and at 15, I joined “Anjuman-e-Shabab-ul-Momineen”, where I recited until the age of 25. At present, I am the main vocalist/reciter of the renowned Anjuman “Azadaran-e-Makhdoma-e-Konain (s.a)” Karachi - Pakistan & Managing Director of Media Production Company 'One Ten Production'.
I started Manqabat Khwani at the age of 14 and released my first album in 2000, titled “Ya Ali Har Zamanay Mein.” Since then, I have recited hundreds of kalams written by many distinguished poets, including Gohar Jarchvi, Noor Ali Noor, Dr. Rehan Azmi, Ustad Fahim Akhter, Musadiq Lakhani, Ashraf Jarchvi, Mohib Fazli, Arif Imam, Zafar Abbas Zafar, Dr. Majid Raza Abidi, Ashhar Mehdi, Ali Izhar, Mazhar Naqvi, Safdar Tabrezi, Jawwad Jafri, Kashif Haider, Zain Ali Jafri, and many others.
By the grace of Allah, I have been blessed with the opportunity to recite Nohas and Manqabats in several countries, including the U.S.A, Canada, U.A.E, Singapore, Malaysia, Uganda, India, Tanzania, Oman, Iran, Iraq, and Syria.

Anjuman e Azadaran e Makhdoma e Konain s.a
The Anjuman Azadaran Makhduma-e-Kawnain is a Matmi, Wilayah-oriented, and welfare organization, established with the aim of providing services for mourning (Azadari) and welfare. The organization was founded in 2005, and over the past twenty years, it has rendered outstanding services in both areas.
The organization consists of approximately 150 to 200 believers, including Nohakhwans (reciters of elegies), Manqabat Khwans (reciters of devotional poetry), as well as a large number of Matmi. The foremost mission of the organization is to organize gatherings and assemblies (majalis and mahafil) in the cause of mourning (Azadari) and Wilayah.
We are proud to have taken upon ourselves the responsibility of remembering those sacred personalities whose mention pleases Allah Almighty, and we firmly believe that through this righteous act, the Mother of Imam Hasan and Imam Husain (peace be upon them), Lady Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her), will surely be pleased.
In addition, through the efforts of our Sahib-e-Bayaz Nohakhwan, Rizwan Zaidi, the mourning organization also arranged a free medical clinic for its members for three years, from which many Matmi benefitted.
Through the dedication and untiring efforts of the founder & President of Anjuman, the martyr Janab Wajahat Hussain Naqvi, the Anjuman remained blessed with pilgrimages to Syria (Ziyarat-e-Shaam) from 2005 to 2012.
Shaheed Wajahat Naqvi, along with the esteemed members of the Anjuman, also worked tirelessly for the construction of the replica shrine (Shabih-e-Rauza) of Lady Zainab (peace be upon her). Today, in New Rizvia, Karachi, that rare and beautiful shrine stands, where believers from all over the world come to perform ziyarat.
