Effect of Fighānī on poets and poetic trends of Safavid period (907-1135 AH/1501-1722 AD) is remarkable. In biographies of this period, names of many poets have been mentioned who were researchers of Fighānī and answered his sonnets by sonnet such as Žamīrī Isfahānī (987 AH/1579-80 AD) and Huzūrī Qomī (1000 AH). Many others have been impressed by him and have followed his method such as Şā‘ib Tabrīzī (1087 AH/1676-77 AD) and ’Urfī Shīrāzī (999 AH/1590-91 AD). In addition, some issues have been referred in these works which attract attention of the reader. For example, ''Mardum Dīdih'' (written in 1175 AH/1761-2 AD) refers to imitation of Fighānī by Sirāj al-dīn Alīkhān Ārizū and importance of this issue is made evident when we know that Khān Ārizū is one of the greatest critics of Persian classic literature and is rarely found among the old and his special attention to a poet such as Fighānī indicates his importance in Persian literature. Vālih Dāghistānī (1170 AH/1756-7 AD), the writer of Rīyāž al-Shu’arā (written in 1161 AH/1748 AD), states that he is indebted to Fighānī in learning poetic techniques and poetic language. Imitation and emulation of Fighani in centuries 10 AH/16 AD and 11 AH/17 AD were so common that some of the poets such as ’Urfi Shīrāzī (999 AH/1590-91 AD) gathered in shop of a person called Mīr Țarzī-Afshār and imitated work (Dīvān) of Fighānī.   Bābā Fighānī Shīrazī (925AH/1519AD) is one of the epoch maker poets of the Persian literature.
