احسان اﷲ ثاقب(۱۹۴۲ء۔۲۰۱۴ء) پسرور میں پیدا ہوئے۔ آپ معروف رومانوی شاعری فاخر ہریانوی کے بیٹے ہیں- اعلی تعلیم حاصل کرنے کے بعد محکمہ تعلیم میں ملازمت اختیار کی۔ (۹۸۲)آپ کا ایک شعری مجموعہ ’’شہرِ غزل‘‘ کے نام سے معراج پر نٹرز لاہورسے ۲۰۰۶ء میں شائع ہوا۔ اس کے علاوہ کچھ شعری مسودات ہیں جو شائع نہیں ہو سکے۔ احسان اﷲ ثاقب غزل گو شاعر ہیں۔ ان کا اردو ادب میں بڑا کارنامہ یہ ہے کہ انھوں نے اپنے شعری مجموعے ’’شہرِ غزل‘‘ میں بیس بحور کے چھیاسی اوزان میں بڑی خوبصورتی سے طبع آزمائی کی ہے۔ آج ارد وشاعری میں کوئی قدآور شاعر بھی اتنی تعداد میں بحور اور اوزان میں شعر نہیں کہہ سکا ہے۔ انھوں نے ایک نئی بحر کا بھی اضافہ کیا ہے۔ جسے انھوں نے ’’بحرِ مترنم‘‘ کانام دیا ہے۔ یہ بحر تمام عروضی تقاضوں کو پورا کرتی ہے۔
حوصلہ مندی ،بلند فکری ،اخلاقیات، پیارو محبت،سماجی شعور اور توحید احسان اﷲ ـثاقب کی شاعری کے اہم موضوعات ہیں۔ اس حوالے سے نمونہ کلام ملاحظہ ہو:

This study aims to describe the concept of Islamic economics in poverty alleviation. This research method is descriptive qualitative research using data sources from literature or library research (library research). The research approach uses a normative approach and a historical approach. The normative approach is used to examine the ideals of the Islamic Economic conception and then analyze how it is applied. Meanwhile, the historical approach is used to study empirical facts about poverty alleviation. The results showed that the stagnant distribution will cause inequality and social inequality. For this reason, the implementation of the zakat obligation is a very urgent need. The priority of poverty alleviation according to the concept of Islamic economics is to overcome the causes of poverty, namely improving the distribution of wealth. Zakat is the main instrument which is a solution to these various problems, especially in dealing with poverty and social inequality. In Islam, the state must create programs and facilities that can overcome the problem of poverty, guarantee a decent life for the poor and provide the economic means needed to become a source of livelihood for the poor. Islamic economics can be explored more deeply for the development of economics and its benefits in alleviating poverty.
Pakistan being an agricultural country is thriving day by day to improve agriculture sector but still majority of farmers are not comfortable with the existing agriculture machines available in the market. Among crops being grown, sugarcane has significant value for local sugar industry as well as to export quality sugar. Unfortunately, in Pakistan the major harvesting of sugarcane is carried out manually involving huge amount of female labour. However, few farmers have tried to adopt imported sugarcane harvesters but due to variation in cropping patterns and varieties a lot of issues are faced during sugarcane harvesting. Therefore, the farmers are emphasizing for the modification and indigenization of sugarcane harvester for better sugarcane recovery. Thus, keeping in mind the above issues a study was carried out for the design modification and performance evaluation of indigenous sugarcane harvester. After the development of the machine, different experiments were performed in terms of machine forward speed, field capacity, field efficiency and crop yield.Findings revealed that forward speed was found directly linked with gear and rpm. Maximum power consumption of 17.564 hp (13.10 kW) was recorded with 0.522 m radius of base cutter at its 2250 rpm. Comparatively lowest value 12.876 hp (9.60 kW) was observed at 2026 rpm of cutter. Sugarcane harvester forward speed, theoretical field capacity and effective material capacity was maximum (5.22 km/hr, 0.53 ha/hr, and 15.52 ton/hr) at gear (G3) respectively while effective time required for harvesting was minimum 1.84 hr at gear (G1) with engine rpm 2000 and working width 1.02 m. Sugarcane harvester field efficiency was maximum (75.10%) at gear (G1) with engine rpm 1800 for working width 1.02 m.
