Md. Ziaul Haque is originally from Zakiganj, Sylhet, Bangladesh. He is an internationally famous poet, epic poet, writer, literary critique, academic, thinker, songwriter, short story writer, rhymer, reviewer, columnist, essayist, researcher and scholar. He earned his B.A [Hon's] and Master's degrees in English language and literature from Shah Jalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet. His pen name is 'শব্দরাজ' [transliteration- 'shobdoraj'] in Bangla and its translation is 'King of Words' in English.

Md. Ziaul Haque's writings are frequently published in the famous national and international literary journals, newspapers and magazines. Moreover, the website www.duckduckgo.com considered Md. Ziaul Haque as one of the famous persons from Sylhet, Bangladesh (https://duckduckgo.com/1/c/People_from_Sylhet) and added his name to the list of 'Bengali writers' (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=bengali+writers&ia=list). His three poems are on the list of top 500 poems in the world (http://poemlist.com/?mode=top-poems&page=2).
He invented some words and terms: "Poetenry" [poems of ten lines], "Kurine" [poems of twenty lines], "Distant-author" [a writer who is currently a citizen of another country but writes about his motherland and its people, culture etc.], "Prosaic-ideas" [ideas in brain appear in prosaic forms, they do not normally follow any metrical composition], "Translation of Objects" [in literary works, objects can also be translated and mistranslated since they are considered as equivalents to something else], "Post-postmodern Age" [the proposed name of the era after Post-modernism as the writer mentioned in a newspaper article], "Intentional Delay of Vision" [not seeing or avoiding the reality intentionally], "Jealouty" [jealousy + beauty]- [a feeling of being jealous of another person's beauty or handsomeness; in Bangla, পরশ্রীকাতরতা], "Inextrovert" [introvert + extrovert]- [a person who is normally quiet or shy and feels uneasy to talk to other people but sometimes becomes friendly and likes the company of others], "Kidultnap" [kid + adult + nap]- [the action of taking away both kids and adults by force to detain them as prisoners and demand money from their family members for returning them], "Foolligent" [fool + intelligent]- [a person who behaves foolishly sometimes but acts intelligently in certain circumstances], defined the word "Simplex" in a new way- [Simple + Complex = Simplex]- [A problem or something else that seems simple but is complex actually], "A Writer's Religious Partiality" [A writer's religious partiality becomes clear when he chooses the names of the characters for most of his stories, novels etc. from his own religion], "Prosetic" [Prosaic + Poetic]- [A poem that is prosaic in form but looks poetic also since it has rhymes], "Smellwitness" [A person who has smelt something and is able to tell about it to others], "Consequential Colonialism" [The names of places of the colonised countries that remind the local citizens about the colonial moments of the past] Poestory [Poetry + Story]- [A new genre of writing in literature that is created by blending two words i.e. poetry + story. In a word, it is a type of writing where a story has both the qualities of poetry and prose].

Md. Ziaul Haque even posted a status on Facebook on Aug 30, 2012 about the introduction of a 'Sympathise' button. The status was- "I find it really strange or weird especially when someone clicks the 'Like' option even when his friend faced an accident. How can we 'like' this phenomenon when the concerned person is not happy? I think my Facebook friends must agree with me on this note. According to me, Mark Zuckerberg should think seriously about this and add another option just beside the 'Like' button. I suggest that "Sympathise" can be the most suitable option." On January 13, 2014, www.banglanews24. com made a report about this titled "ফেসবুকে যোগ হচ্ছে 'সিম্প্যাথাইজ বাটন'" (http://www.banglanews24.com/beta/fullnews/bn/256513.html). Besides, several of his scholarly articles made their presence felt in international journals. He also worked as a Peer Reviewer for some reputed international journals.

His favourite pastime activities include- playing chess, listening to good music, angling and occasional theatre directing. In addition, he likes to keep in touch with the friends and readers on the various social networking sites. His writings are full of 'creativity'. It is worth mentioning that he is a dreamer and optimistic by nature. At present, he teaches English language and literature at Sylhet International University, Sylhet, Bangladesh.
