She has also received awards including Sitara-e-Imtiaz for her literary contribution to Urdu literature. She is a prolific writer and 12 volumes of her poetry were published from Pakistan and India. She has also written eight books for children and has won the prestigious UNESCO award for children’s literature. Her love for children is as much as her concern for women. She expresses this concern in her poem, Asin Burian We Loko, which is a touching focus on the plight of women in the present male-dominated society. Kishwar Nahid’s sher-o-shayari includes her popular works like, Lab-e-Goya, Benaam Musafat, Nazmen, Galian, Dhoop, Darvaze, etc.
