Jiya a yawon duniya

Na hadu da karamin mutum

Zan rera waka ga mai so na

Mai ajiyar karamin mutum

Dan lele zo mu yi lilo mu gangaro

Alawa ga zaki ga gardi

Sai karamin mutum

Yaushe za ka ziyarci fadata

Don nayi maka shimfidar lagwada

Ya mai so na

Sadaukar min da karamin mutum

Don na ga fararen taurari

I choose this poem because i can relate to this poems easily. I have traveled alot in my life so far,
and this poems talks about how the world is a big place.However to me the world just keeps getting smaller and smaller because of technology and to be able to travel to new places in just a few hours.For example, my home country is millions of miles away and to some people that really far, they forget how easy i is to reach destinations in such a short period of time.Nowadays we have Skype, facebook, and emailing which is only just the beginning.
