Diyar fari (First born)
The author Zubee Fly wrote one of the best romance Hausa novels, titled Diyar Fari, which means First Born Daughter. This book highlights the life of a girl as the firstborn in her family and how she tolerates and endures various life challenges in order to achieve a better life. Even though some of the habits of the daughter, whose name is Raeesah, are bad, the way she lived her life was difficult, especially due to the way people treated her. The fault isn't hers but her parents'.
English Excerpt:
Why are you shouting at me?" said the mother. We are talking and you're also talking back to me. You're really stubborn. I swear you're going to get beaten if you don't stop."
The woman sitting replied, "Hadiza, I swear I won't forgive you. You're the one who ruined Raeesa. Oh Yakumbo Salma, is that what you're going to say? Well, that's fine." Tears started to flow from Hadiza's eyes, who was already used to crying. Then Yakumbo Salma said, "Hadiza, I'm not saying this to upset you or make you cry, but this girl is really beyond our control! We really need to be serious about disciplining her," said Yakumbo Salma. Hadiza replied, "Yakumbo, what am I going to do with Raeesah? Her father already ruined her, and now she's getting older and things are getting worse. Sometimes when I tell Raeesah to do something, she doesn't listen, so I have to hit her before she does it." She said this while pointing at Raeesah, who was staring blankly, listening to everything they were discussing about her. Hadiza said, "Go away and go to Islamic school or I'll beat you up, you stubborn girl." Raeesah: "Oh, Maman Hauwa, you know I don't know I don't have tajweed, and you said you'd buy me a."
Hadiza: "Didn't we buy one last week? I'm not going to buy another one. Raeesah: "Maman Hauwa!!!" Before she could finish speaking...

English Excerpt:
There were beautiful white chairs with a small center table that looked like a stool in front of them in the courtyard of the house, along with a medium-sized laptop placed on the center table that resembled a stool. His face showed no sign of cheerfulness, not even a hint of a smile. She was chatting away enthusiastically, but his attention wasn’t on her at all; he didn’t even know she was talking. Only his hands were moving, typing on the laptop keyboard, indicating that he was working on something very important.
“Sweetheart, do you know that when I went home, Umma said I looked really good, except that I’ve lost a bit of weight? Could it be that I’m pregnant?” She finished her statement excitedly, but her husband didn’t even look at her and continued typing . By now, her heart started to burn with frustration. A bitter feeling welled up inside her, choking her with emotion. She looked at herself and then at her outfit, which was giving off a sweet fragrance, but he wasn’t paying her any attention. When would she ever impress him? When would he start seeing her as capable of capturing her husband’s attention? She sighed inwardly. Her eyes instantly changed color, and she swallowed the dryness in her mouth caused by sheer anger. She thought about getting up to leave and returning to the parlor to calm down, but she refused to leave until she let out what was in her heart, even though he was already used to such conversations...
