  Irony in literature is an art that reflects the underlying pain and heals the hidden anguish that it wants to use to heal its grief and remove its anguish through its opposite. Hence, the pain felt by the writer or the poet and his inability to remove the causes of this pain is the motivation behind this Irony that the poet creates. However, the motivation to resort to this method varies from era to era. Since, the aim of irony in an era is individual and in another one, collective. The goal of a writer from the writing of this text is political and the other social, or the writer has other reasons. Hence, we can say that the Irony is a sort of satire, or promiscuity, or sarcasm, or humor, or anecdote, or esprit, or playfulness, or ... but with some difference. Manuscript profile

  With the publication of newspapers, a new branch, the press satire, is separated from literary satire. Press satire changes depend on political, social, and cultural developments; it is unstable and sometimes even interrupts. Iran in 1350s has been one of the most troubled Third World countries in terms of unequal distribution of incomes. This article aims to study the patterns of class differences in Iranian society in the 1350s and to study the press activities of Abu al-Qasim Hālat at that time. This descriptive-analytic study extracts and analyzes the satirical poetry of Abu al-Qāsim Hālat from that period press. The findings of the study show that Abu al-Qāsim Hālat by use of simple words and slangs deals with issues such as the problems of the people and society, social inequality, criticism of  the tyranny imposed on the society, promoting relationships on standards, class distances and promoting corruption through which he paved the way of reformation in the society. With his humorous criticism he played a role in transformation of the social and cultural situation of Iranian society in the 1350s. Manuscript profile
