Khan writes, " Even a cursory galance at Parwaz-e-Takhayyul convinces one that Ehsan         has inborn quality of a good poet. Though his poetry is mostly confined           to traditional form and rhyme, his thought is sublime. none of his couplets          can be described as substandard.It is a great achievement since his earlier           collections contained for the most part mediocre poetry. This journey from          imperfection to perfection is laudable and worthy of emulation for young,          budding poets who aspire for perfection in the art of poetry,but falter due          to lack of proper guidance."
