In the summer of 1951, the famous Egyptian writer, Dr. Mohammad Hussein Haykal, an ex-president of the Egyptian Senate House and the then proprietor of the two Egyptian newspapers, The Weekly Politics and The Daily politics, visited Lebanon. He heard the news of the oppressive persecution campaign mounted against Dr. Dahesh at the hands of the then President of the Lebanese Republic, Beshara el-Khoury; so he wrote to the Daheshist poet, Halim Dammous, expressing his desire to assist in defending the cause of a man unjustly persecuted. This letter to the Lebanese poet initiated a correspondence between Dr. Haykal and the founder of Daheshism, who was at that time unjustly stripped of his citizenship and living away from public view.
The letters of Dr. Dahesh mostly reveal the causes of persecution and the so-called “legal” procedures of the thinly veiled conspiracy against him, and his determination to restore his rights. On the other hand, the letters of Dr. Haykal express his view that stripping a person of his citizenship is worse than a death sentence by a firing squad. These letters express Dr. Haykal’s avowal to stir up Dr. Dahesh’s case in the Egyptian press in a manner similar to Voltaire’s defense in the famous Calas case.

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.

A collection of prose poems composed between 1936 and 1942, echoing a painful experience that the author mentioned in an earlier book The Broken Heart. 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.
