Selected Arabic Poems of the Promised Messiah (as) — Page xii
We hope that this English translation is beneficial for all. Those who are familiar with the original languages should try to memorize the poems of the Promised Messiah as by heart and teach them to their children. Please note that this edition presents only those Arabic poems which have been translated into English from the books of the Promised Messiah as by Wak a lat-e-Ta s n i f. As more poems are trans- lated, our intent is to include them in future editions. This present compilation also contains some verses which were revealed to the Promised Messiah; these have been identified wherever they occur. This book has been compiled and finalized with the help of Munawar Ahmad Saeed, Sabahat Ahmad Cheema, Hassan Faiyaz Khan, Asifah Wahab Mirza, Rawan Malas, and Mirza Abdul Wahab. Further, the valuable contributions made by the Arabic Desk, Wak a lat-e-Ta s n i f, and Ni za rat-e-Ish a ‘at are greatly appreciated.
