Ada Jafarey was part of a traditionally conservative society where women were not allowed to think and express independently. But she was bold enough to express herself. Despite having traditionality ingrained in her personality, she took part in modern art. As early as 1950, she was recognized as the First Lady of Urdu Poetry. Her mother, and her husband Nurul Hasan Jafarey, encouraged her to keep on her literary activities in spite of social difficulties. She was the student of great poets like Akhtar Sheerani and Jafar Ali Khan Asar Lakhnavi and used to get her poetry checked and corrected by them.
Ada Jafarey writes in a gender-neutral mode, though her works include feminist themes like discrimination and dehumanisation of women and of them being viewed as sexual objects. Her personality seems absent from her poetry.
Ada Jafarey wrote of her experiences as a wife and mother in a modified traditional idiom, but also noticed the lack of fulfillment that accompanied these relationships.
Ada Jafarey's works are mostly Ghazals, but she also experimented with āzād naz̤m, as well as Urdu Haiku. She had mastered both genres of Urdu poetry, naz̤m and ghazal. In her ghazals, she took the pen name, Adā. She has also written a few maẓāmīn.
Ada Jafarey's first ghazal was published in Akhtar Sheerani's magazine, Romān, in 1945. Ada Jafarey published her first collection of poems, "Maiṉ Sāz Ḍhūṉḍtī Rahī" in 1950. Her book, G̲h̲azal Numā, containing short essays with short biographies and brief commentaries on the work previous Urdu poets was published in 1987. Besides, she published five collections of Urdu poetry (S̲h̲ahr-i Dard, G̲h̲azālāṉ, Tum to Wāqif Ho!, Ḥarf-i S̲h̲anāsāʾī, Safar Bāqī, and Mausam, Mausam), in addition to her autobiography ("Jo Rahī so BeK̲h̲abrī Rahī"), and forty research papers. She also published her collection of Urdu Haiku, Sāz-i Suk̲h̲n Bahānā hai Her ghazal, Hoṉṭoṉ pih kabhī un ke merā nām hī āʾe was sung and popularised by Ustad Amanat Ali Khan.
