		Since the first days that Simin started to compose chains of couplets in addition to her lyrical work, this light, and this warmth, were felt in her poems.

		As the years go by, we notice that Simin, having chosen the lyric style, does not find the prevalent moulds and rhythms of that style sufficient for the expression of her ideas.

		Behbahani referred to the horrifying and horrendous events in Iran to illustrate what compelled her to compose the poems.
		The words never quite equal the experience behind them.â Simin Behbahaniâs poetry in the last 25 years cannot adequately reflect the pains, sadness, sufferings, and calamities that she has experienced under Islamic Iran.
		However, the most important point missing in her article (and in her lecture) is that Simin Behbahani did not give the slightest indication of her role in supporting the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic government at various times during the last 25 years.

		Behbahani shows that the most modern themes could still be effectively and beautifully handled by a poetic form that dates back to almost 11 centuries ago, making " modern Persian" the oldest language of the world still in daily use.
		Behabahani was one of few poets of her generation who refused to fall for the fashionable forms of poetrty, mostly imported from France and propagated by public relations masters such as trhe late Ahmad Shamlou.
