Great Urdu poet Ahsaan Danish Death anniversary was observed on Thursday. The prominent Urdu poet was born in 1914. His life marked the struggle of person who didn't have more than a primary level of education, who worked as ordinary laborer for years in odd jobs, and finally became a poet of excellence. His autobiography Jahan-i-Danish is a classic now and has motivated many.
Danish could not pursue his education under financial juggernauts. He learnt Arabic and Persian languages. He has written more than 80 books and hundreds of articles on poetry, prose, linguistics, Philology, autobiography and the famous interpretation of "Diwan-e-Ghalib". Only 5% of his works are published till now and the remaining books are still left unpublished either in the manuscript form or published only once.
