احسان دانش
قلم یہاں تک پہنچا تھا کہ ایک اخبار میں اچانک اپنے عزیز اوردیرینہ دوست احسان دانش کے انتقال کی خبر نظر سے گزری توصدمہ ہوا۔ مرحوم ضلع مظفر نگر کے ایک قصبہ میں پیداہوئے، لاہور پہنچ کرمزدوری کی،اسی سے مزدوروں کے شاعربنے۔ بڑی شہرت اورمقبولیت پائی، تقسیم کے بعد مرجھا سے گئے تاہم اطمینان اورفارغ البالی کی زندگی بسر کرتے تھے۔ طبعاً مرنج ومرنجان،متواضع و منکسر المزاج اورعقیدہ وعمل کے اعتبار سے پکے مسلمان تھے۔
اللھم اغفرلہ وارحمہ۔
