EARTHQUAKES ~Usman Sayyed “Abbu... Abbu....!” Zaid entered the house and started to call his Abbu. “What happened Zaid?” Abbu came out of his room and asked Zaid. “Abbu...! I...I... I won’t go to this school anymore...” Zaid controlled his breath and said carelessly. “Why son? Is everything okay? is there any problem with this school?” Ammi came out of kitchen and asked so many questions as she was worried for Zaid. Zaid begun to say, “Abbu, teacher at my school knows nothing. They teach us all the wrong. So, I decided not to go to such school.” He said in a single breathe as he had prepared and practiced this speech many times. “Ohh really?

Corona Virus

The land of god is deprived of his servants 

The world has lost its gleam which it had once


The streets are empty and empty are the roads. 

Crowds are missing and the world has slowed.


Azans delayed and prayers started to disappear

just muezzin is there and the imam is there


The mosques are empty and absent are worshipers.

neither exchange of priests in the temples nor the prayers


At each corner of the street a soldier you see

mischievous boys in a small group 

A modern Ibn Battuta they want to be.


on the land of God with sew taunt

those who are walking with swagger

based on authorities, which isn't forever

those who flying too high 

that Pride, hangover that ill-manner

that narcissism that egoistic behavior 

that anticipation that advancement 

Have no standard no existence 

this pride of a king and this ignorance

this is the only reason of destruction



just a little germ

Who has neither a tail nor a head

just a little germ

Whatever message came from Heaven

He is reading to us

Today just a little germ to us 

is showing our place in the universe.
