Desert Poem by Rizwana Sultana

No grass, no greenery on the land,
Everywhere, there is sand and sand.
No sign of water, no hope of life,
In this dry piece of land, who can survive?
The palm trees with fruits so high,
One can only see and sigh.

The sandy land, so vast and endless,
Dry, devoid of water and lifeless,
No sweet air, no flowers in bloom,
No smell of fresh green grass,
Only sand and dust to be seen,
Whenever and wherever we pass

Not even a single grass's blade,
Devoid of trees and their cool shade,
No chirping notes of birds and their tunes,
No natural beauty except for the sand dunes,
It has a morbid image,
Deceiving travelers with its mirage.

Why does it exist on earth,
When it has no merit and worth?
Sand in front and sand behind,
Sand on either side.
Only and only the vast desert,
Is spread out far and wide.
