In her work, Farrochsād goes against both literary and social conventions, thereby breaking all taboos. It does not adhere to the traditional forms of poetry and thus transfers Iranian poetry into the modern age. Her work gives women a voice in Iranian male society by describing the inner life of a woman from a female perspective in her poems for the first time. In doing so, she uses a sober realism and unreserved honesty.
This collection was published by Suhrkamp Verlag in 1993 in a translation by Kurt Scharf. In 2017 a bilingual special edition was published by Sujet Verlag.

The gift
I'm talking about the end of the night
I'm talking about the end of darkness
And I'm talking about the end of the night
when you come to my house
bring me a lamp, my dear
And a hatch from which I
The hustle and bustle of Happy Lane can be seen
