Sarcasm takes different forms, some of which elicit laughter, and some of which take a different direction. It is merely an enumeration of the other's faults that exist in him, or are supposed to exist. This is what is called satire in Arabic poetry. Throughout its history, the Egyptian press has been full of satirical poetry and satirical caricatures as well.
The character of Abu Buthaina enjoys a prominent place in satirical poetry, or what is called (Al-Zajal), due to the depth of its content, the richness of his character, and the style that is based on pictorial irony, which has artistic value. He lived with simple people in the office's offices, in the alleys, in the wheat barns, and in the hovels. He sang with them, and easily reached them. There is no clearer evidence of that than what the great artist Ismail Yassin said about him that he was the first to advise him and transfer him from the world of singing. To the world of monologue.
