Abstract

In 2014, when the fifth book "Sham-e-Shair-e-Yaran" by the great Urdu Humorist Mr. Mushtaq Ahmed Yousufi was published, many literary circles or certain media tried to make it controversial. Some said it was not printed with Yousifi's consent, some pointed fingers at its literary quality and some even called it Yousafi's "dustbin's trash" in opposition to those who arranged the publication of the book. However, the fact is that this book is in no way inferior to the standard set by Yousufi.

The article under review attempts to provide an unbiased analysis of the book as well as to give a reasoned answer to the objectionable arguments and objections of the protesters.
