Editorial notes

A wide range of vocabulary is found in these poems.   The difficulty this presented to Abdul Latiff in making his transcription cannot be underestimated.   In a couple of places, his readings have been emended.  Others remain inscrutable.

Titles of poems are underlined.

A fashion developed for ornamental "abjad" poems.   In these poems the four verses of the first stanza all begin with the first (jawi) letter of the title, the four verses of the second stanza all begin with the second letter of the title, and so forth.   Considerable dexterity is required!   In these poems the key letter was written in front of each stanza in the right margin.   In the text presented here, these key letters are distinguised by underlining.  The abjad poems are: 28, 61, 64, 75, 77, 114, 142, 146, 148, 150, 187, 189, 208, 264, 271, 280, 284.   In 214 the intials introduce successive lines.
