Pakistani poet Ehsan Danish is being remembered today as his death anniversary is celebrated across the country.
Born Ehsan-ul-Haq, he was a prominent Urdu poet from the Indian subcontinent who started his career by writing romantic poetry but graduated to writing about labourers, for which he earned the title “Shair e Mazdur” (Poet of the workmen) by his audience.
His poetry inspired the common people’s feelings and he has been compared with Josh Malihabadi. He holds the unique position as one of the best poets of all times, with fine, romantic and revolutionary, but simple style of poetry.
