Abstract

The article throws light on the different views expressed on the reasons and nature of laughter and humor and seek to see as to how the great Urdu humorist Ahmad Shah Patras Bukhari applies different ways of humor to make his write-ups catchy. The humor may be divided into Four catagories i.e. Pure Humor, Satire, Parody and irony. The article focuses on One write-up of Patras "Maibal aur main" taken from his book "Patras Kay Mazameen" in which the great humorist blended all these four types to make his piece of writing witty. A deeper look into the writings of Patras make us realize that it's not the case of the mentioned write-up as each and every piece of writing, included in his book presents the same grip on the natural humor produced by the legendry Urdu writer.
