Born to Javanese migrants, Binhad's education is mainly derived from his time at Krapyak Islamic school in the central Javanese city of Yogyakarta. One of his collections of poetry has been translated by a scholar of Indonesian literature and popular culture, Dr.Marshall Clark (of Deakin University, Australia). The book is a bilingual publication (The Bed Horse/Kuda Ranjang, Depok: Penerbit Koekoesan, 2008). Clark became interested in Binhad Nurrohmat after meeting him by coincidence at a famous second-hand literature bookshop in central Jakarta.
