Abstract

Humorists and comedy writers, especially the poets, have always played a vital role in not only highlighting the contradictions and hypocrisies of the society in a funny, subtle and light-heartedly and most effective manner, but also successfully attempting to self-accountability of individual and society as a whole. While providing through this literary genre pure form of amusement to people, these poets can rightly be credited with creating, innovating and expanding the scope of a language itself and enriching its vocabulary. In this article, an attempt has been made to highlight the valuable literary contribution made such stalwart comedy poets as Akbar Allahabadi of the 20th century to Dr. Faisal Aziz, Abid Mehmood and Athar Shah Khan Jaidi etc. of our contemporary world. Focus has been made on their unique art, technique and special skill of employing modern technological terms and buzz words in comic expressions thus creating entirely new shades of meanings and context.
