WHAT LEGENDS SAY
"Mahmud Manjur has a rare gift—his lyrics carry both simplicity and soul. When I recorded ‘Sona Jhora Roddur Seshe,’ I felt the depth of emotion he poured into every line. But it’s not just that one song—his body of work reflects a deep understanding of melody, meaning and mood. As a lyricist, he has a voice of his own, and I truly believe he is one of the most promising and heartfelt songwriters of this generation."
"Mahmud Manjur is a rare blend of sensitivity and skill. As a lyricist, he writes from the heart—his words often carry a quiet strength that stays with the listener. I’ve had the pleasure of singing several of his songs, and each one felt like a conversation with the soul. Beyond music, his journalistic work reflects the same sincerity and depth. Whether he's writing a lyric or asking a question in an interview, Mahmud brings honesty, respect, and a deep love for the arts. That’s what sets him apart."
"Manjur writes with soul. His lyrics don’t chase trends—they speak truths. There’s a raw honesty in his words that connects with the streets, the youth and the dreamers. That’s rare these days. As a journalist, he carries that same authenticity, diving deep into the culture and telling the stories that matter."
