The poems date from the early 16th century and provide a unique insight into the history, culture, and traditions of the Baloch people of southern Pakistan and southeastern Iran.

Part II includes later tribal poems, mainly war ballads, while Part III contains romantic ballads and love songs. Part IV presents religious and didactic poems and Part V includes short poems, lullabys, riddles, and proverbs.
