MY HOMETOWN

In my hometown's ancient land Where Sahara sands shift and stand A town of resilience and might Endures the harsh desert light Ancient trade routes once did thrive Through hometown's dusty drive Merchants bearing goods and tales From distant lands and desert gales The Arewa's warm and welcoming heart Beats strong in its every part Hospitality flows like a stream In this oasis, a peaceful dream In Yusufari's vibrant market square Culture blends, colors flair Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri meet Unity in diversity's sweet treat Resilient people, strong and free Face desert challenges with glee Farming, herding, trading too Yusufari's spirit forever true As sunset paints the desert red Yusufari's beauty fills my head A hidden gem, pure and bright Shining in the Sahara's lights
