Selections from the Poetry of the Afghāns, from the Sixteenth to the Nineteenth Century Literally Translated from the Original Pus'hto; With Notices of the Different Authors, and Remarks on the Mystic Doctrine and Poetry of the Sūfis (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Selections From the Poetry of the Afghans, From the Sixteenth to the Nineteenth Century: Literally Translated From the Original Pus'hto; With Notices of the Different Authors, and Remarks on the Mystic Doctrine and Poetry of the Sufis

All I can say in conclusion is, that what is good in the fol lowing pages must be credited to the authors and all the failings and imperfections, which are very many, I fear, to their English translator, who, therefore, prays for the indulgence and forbearance of his readers.
