Abstract

"Akbar Ilah Abadi and Allama Muhammad Iqbal were reputed classical Urdu poets of the sub-continent. They belong to the same era. Akbar's style of poetry is humorous and sarcastic whereas Iqbal has his own specific serious style. In spite of contrast in their style of expressions, both have common point of view about the different values of life. Underneath the wave of humour, Irony and witticism, we find pain in their poetry. They criticised aggressively prevailing Western values and vanishing Eastern values. The main domains of their humour and irony are religion, modern education, politics, Western civilization and culture. Their sense of humour and sarcasm really awoke the Muslims of sub-continent from the deep sleep".
