The contemporary poem plays a special role given to society's atmosphere to express social themes to empower the spirit of cooperation and sympathy. The poem is not a phenomenon unique to the poet but social issues are important factors to create a poem, as the poet understands the spirit of his people's age and knows their happiness and grief. Investigating the poet's social commitment is one of the main pillars of studying literature sociology. We studied the social issues of Muhammad Ghazavi's collection of poems, which is published in concurrence with corona prevalence in 2020 and during corona epidemics crisis as “Love in the Time of Corona". The poet is influenced and infected by corona and he depicted missing friends who passed away without saying goodbye. He talked about the pain of the disease and he is the healer of the patients. Meanwhile, he did not slack off against the corona's stubbornness and he did not calm down and relied on his art and poet and turned to poetry. He understood the pain and torture of his compatriots and took the dimensions and manifestations of the disease into account. As it can be seen, he made love with the excruciating pain and hardness of this disaster and may be found shelter or calm in this flirting. He regrets his past times. Ghazavi talked about the effects and damages of this epidemic the life and society such as the closure of mosques and places of worship as well as the effect of the disease on the behavior and ethic of the people. He reminded us of real heroes, honorable doctors who encountered this epidemic then ended his speeches with an elegy on the dead. The poet is eminent at depicting this epidemic and its dimensions on his characteristic and society from both art and literary viewpoint. He revealed the vices and virtues the people and the society indicated of themselves at the prevalence of this epidemic disease and the differences between good and bad people in his poems. He ended his poems with prayers and supplications to God Almighty. This feature distinguishes him from other poems. This prayer-like termination is adjusted with the spirit of his compatriots.
