Excerpt from The Key of the Hearts of Beginners
As the Bibi's mother~tongue was Hindustani, the thought and idiom Of her book are far from being purely Persian and are strongly toned with local colour. Looked at as literature, it is but a wayside flower and when transplanted it, like many another wild growth, has needed a good deal Of trimming. A verbally exact rendering Of it would not have been faithful to the good that is in the manuscript and this has made editing necessary.
