Kafe Gul Farosh by Ghulam Ahmad Furqat Kakorwi

Furqat was a humorous poet and a scholarly critic of humorous poetry. He was especially interested in the art of parody. Progressive poetry, written in free verse and blank verse, was a favourite target of his satire. Humorous interpretation of Ghalib may be called his special contribution, for, by concentrating humorously on Ghalib, he was able to draw the readers' attention to the poet's work and art. In addition, he expended his satirical art in exposing some of the social evils of the day, such as overpopulation and profligacy.
