Her poems reveal her sex. Talking of them, Arthur Symons wrote, "It is for this bird-like quality of song that they are to be valued". More than one third of bulk of her poetry is devoted to a lyrical presentation of the bliss of love and pathos of separation. Some of her typical love-lyrics are Ecstasy, Song of Radha, The Milk Maid, A Persian Love-Song, In a Time of Flowers, Humayun to Zobeida, Devotion etc.  In the poem <em>Alabaster</em> she gives us a clear description of her heart:</p> <p>            Like this alabaster box whose art is frail as a cassia-flower, is my heart, carven with delicate dreams and wrought with many a subtle and exquisite thought. Therein I treasure the spice and scent of rich and passionate memories blent like odours of cinnamon, sandal and clove, of song and sorrow and life and love,</p> <p>                                                (<em>Alabaster</em> p. 24)</p>}, number={4}, journal={The Creative Launcher}, author={Dr. Afshan Nahid}, year={2020}, month={Oct.}, pages={56–59} }
