The work showcases Borrow's passion for languages and his translated pieces highlight the diverse poetic traditions found across various cultures. The book primarily focuses on themes of spirituality, nature, and human emotions, reflected in the selected poems and odes. In "Targum," Borrow offers readers an anthology of poems representing different cultures, ranging from Persian and Arabic to Finnish and Modern Greek. Each piece conveys distinct emotions and moral lessons, often centered around divine themes and human experiences.
