Noha (Arabic: نوحہ‎) is a genre of Arabic, Persian, or Urdu prose depicting the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. Strictly speaking noha is the sub-parts of Marsia. Nohas are usually poetry expressing the sorrow felt by Shia Muslims for their leader and his family's murders at the Battle of Karbala in the year 680 CE.

"Noha" (Arabic: نهى‎)is also an Arabic female name meaning "wisdom". Literally it is the plural of minds. It is mentioned in the Quran several times.
