Ehsan Danish (Eḥsān Dāniš, 17 November 1914 – 22 March 1982), born Ehsan-ul-Haq Eḥsānu l-Ḥaq), was an Urdu poet, prose writer, linguist, lexicographer and scholar from Pakistan.

At the beginning of his career, his poetry was very romantic but later his poems addressed the lot of the labourers and he came to be called the "Šhāʿir-e Mazdūr" (lit "the workman's poet") by his audience.

[4] Danish (birth name: Ehsan-ul-Haq) was born in Maulanan Kandhla, a small town in the Shamli district of Uttar Pradesh, India.

[3] Danish wrote more than 80 books and hundreds of articles[3] about and including poetry, prose, linguistics, philology, autobiographies and the famous interpretation of "Diwan-e-Ghalib".

He recalls: "In 1928, when we lived in Mozang, I happened to be present at a gathering in the street adjoining ours where a short-statured but a well-built darkish young man recited a naat in a voice which kept the audience spell-bound".

"[6] Ehsan Danish was titled Poet-Laborer (Shair-e-Mazdoor) due to his revolutionary, passionate and novel poems for the laborers, the poor people and the oppressed.
