In this book, Dr. Dahesh rephrases most of what he has written between 1930 and 1950 into octave-rhymed stanzas; then the poet Halim Dammous “being aware,” as he says, “of the impact of these inspired words and of the origin of these heart-deep feelings,” transposes them from rhymed prose into rhymed verse.
In the verse version, the reader finds an almost total faithfulness to the original rhymed prose and at the same time an easy flow of rhythm.

This assortment of short stories confronts the reader with exciting plots, perplexing climaxes, and sudden unexpected denouements. The stories make the reader hold his breath at different junctures in the narrative and stirs in him feelings of wonder, surprise, and awe.
What is rather remarkable are the author’s views conveyed in these short stories: all creatures (human and nonhuman) are free and responsible, subject to the eternal laws of divine justice, man is not the only sentient being, for among animals and plants, there are some that enjoy a greater power of rational perception than man. Also the generic hiererical stratification on Earth is not a proof of spiritual superiority and sublimity. Moreover, there are other inhabited planets whose civilizations exceed hy far those of Earth.

Travel is not accidental in the life of Dr. Dahesh. He traveled wide and far—to the Middle and Far East, Russia, North America, and almost all of the African and European countries. He recorded, in this series, facts of his travels, his observations, and his wide-ranged commentaries.
Dr. Dahesh’s travel literature stands out for its fidelity to facts in narration and description, its accuracy in recording the exact time and numbers, its exploration of the natural, cultural, social, and economic aspects of each country he visited, the similarities and differences among nations.
Dr. Dahesh’s Journeys come close to being an autobiography, acquainting the reader with the personality of the author, his attitudes, taste, spiritual philosophy, and the manner of his life.

Most of Dr. Dahesh's books which may be classified as emotive literature carry pieces which have such dominant motifs as the insignificance of worldly life, the ephemeral nature of its hopes, the falsity of its glroies, the corruption of men and their consequent misery, praise and love of death and yearning to it, longing for the world of the Spirit and hope for deliverance from material bondage, and happiness in the eternal paradisical gardens. The author collected these pieces in this book which he entitled My Songs. The title signifies the heart-deep attachment of these pieces to his soul.
This book is different from other books in the same literary category, but so are the purposes of the author. It is the most keen expression of the author's spiritual alienation in this world.

This sad experience had created in the poet a long-standing doubt in friendship and women, but it also gave rise to inner sufferings. Moreover, this experience made him lose his faith in innocent love hence his harsh judgments on human nature.
