Selected Urdu Poems of the Promised Messiah (as) — Page xii
We hope that the 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 poems that have been translated into English from the books of the Promised Messiah as by Wakalt-e-Tasneef. As more poems are translated, our intent is to include them in future editions. This present compila- tion 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 Ahmed Saeed, Nasira Karim, Mirza Abdul-Wahab, and Sabahat Ahmad Cheema. Asifah and Kashifa Mirza helped in the formatting and lay- out of the book. May Allah reward them all for contributing in their various capacities. al- Ha j Munir-ud-Din Shams Additional Wak i lut-Ta s n i f, London, UK July 2022 xii
