Zarb-e-Sukhan is a Kulliyat, the collection of various books of Urdu poetry. It consists of seven poetry collections, including the unpublished work of its author, Ehsan Sehgal. The collection covers the work of forty years. An English newspaper of Pakistan the Daily Times considered that as a "splendid poetry collection." The Urdu circles in Pakistan, India and around the Urdu-world, admired the author's work. The author and its literary work also have received awards from literary organizations.

Synopsis of collection
Urdu poetry work of Zarb-e-Sukhan includes Parwaz-e-Takhial, Andaz-e-Takhaial, Saaz-e-Takhaial, Naaz-e-Takhaial, Afkar Ki Khushboo, and Charagh-e-Dardwhich; it was written over more than the period of forty years. Sehgal qualifies the knowledge of Urdu poetry metres accurately. A writer expressed his view in the newspaper Daily Rising Kashmir that such poetry authoritatively demonstrated poetic couplets that were compiled with rhythmic weighs and help others to learn the basics of the art of Urdu rhythmic poetry. Sehgal's ghazals and naats from the collection, have been sung by several singers of Pakistan.

Reviews
Dr Amjad Parvez wrote: "Ehsan probably is very particular in the regard and has taken pains to mention the metres below each and every piece of poetry included in his present book. It must have been a gigantic, painstaking effort despite the fact that he does not believe in these restrictions (Pg 14). Famous Indian poet Nida Fazli agrees with Ehsan Sehgal that the experiments in both traditional and untraditional knitting of thought process have been widely accepted and with the passage of time such changes have found a place in the mainstream literature." He also compares Ghalib's thought in the couplet with his couplet (Pg 32)."

Journalist Mushtaq. A. Khan wrote: "Several of his couplets are so enchanting that they keep the readers spellbound for days. This couplet vividly reminds one of Dagh Dehlavi. 'Khoob Ji Bhar Ke Sitam Aur Bhi Karlo Sahib 'Bat Rah Jati Hey Aur Waqt Guzar Jata Hey. Ehsan Sehgal has also shown mastery over the art of Arooz (poetry metre). He has come up with some innovation in this regard which is very pleasing. Each Ghazal and Rubai in the collection carries the name of the meter (Arooz) in which it has been composed. This is something unique and novel as I do not remember to have encountered any other book with this "Ehtemam".

Editor Nation Today Ahktar Hadi wrote,

"Ehsan Sehgal is pure soul and a poet of pathos always grappling to rationalise things without getting an answer". The collection of Zarb-e-Sukhan is work of 42 years, which comprises Parwaz-e-Takhial, Andaz-e-Takhaial,

Others English collections
Besides Urdu poetry collection, Sehgal has published four English collections of Prose Poems and Quotations as The Wise Way, Breathing Words, The Writing That Fragrances, and Flight Of Vision. An American singer Fabulous Feno also has sung his English poems.
