She is considered[by whom?] among the finest Persian lyricists in Iranian pop and traditional music.[3]

Iranian famous musicians such as Manoucher Cheshmazar and Mohammad Heydari have remarked on how well her poems integrate with rhythm and melody, and audiences have recognised these signature elements in her work.[4]
