The Hidden Words, that "marvellous collection of gem-like utterances with which Baha'ulláh was inspired, as He paced, wrapped in His meditations, the banks of the Tigris", is one of the most important works in Baha'i literature and one of the most beautiful. The translation of the Arabic and Persian verses into English befitting the eloquence of the original required a master hand.

Diana Malouf's Unveiling the Hidden Words is a study of the translation of the Arabic verses of The Hidden Words.
