, another famous Iranian poet. His most famous book is a collection of his poems during 70s, called "Abi, Khakestari, Siah" (Blue, Gray, and Black). This collection is not just romantic, but also social and political, revealing the emotions, hopes and dreams of Iranian youth during the 70s. In 1972, he married Laleh Mosaddegh (Khoshknaabi). They have two daughters named Ghazal and Taraneh. In the words of the critics, one of the distinctive features of his poems is simplicity, fluency and sincerity. As Simin Behbahani argued: "Mosaddegh associated (Iranian's) humanistic goals with poetry." Hamid Mosadegh was close to the heart of Iranian people and his poems are understandable and easy to relate to for people of various ages and classes.

On his tombstone it has been written: "Remember us, whom in all life's night, Prowl for searching twilight. Remember us kindly and by heart." The words are from one of his last poems in "Shir-e-Sorkh" (the Red Lion) book, which talks mostly with Iranian youth, giving them hope for a better future, asking them to remember those who had worked for a better future in the country but did not make it to see the upcoming bright days.
