We often use the word
“humour” with “satire” as they form a combination together and help us see the two aspects of life as such. Satires are of many kinds; they are dark and corrosive, as well as gentle and reformative. Verses in this section will help you appreciate the significance of satire in poetical terms.
bachcha bolā dekh kar masjid ālī-shān
allāh tere ek ko itnā baḌā makān
bachcha bola dekh kar masjid aali-shan
allah tere ek ko itna baDa makan
bhītar kyā kyā ho rahā ai dil kuchh to bol
ek aañkh ro.e bahut ek hañse jī khol
bhitar kya kya ho raha ai dil kuchh to bol
ek aankh roe bahut ek hanse ji khol
