She is still popular among the older generations. Hamid is mainly saluted and worshiped for singing the famous songs composed by Bangladesh's folk-poet Jasim Uddin. Hamid's songs mainly depict the sadness, sorrows, pathos of village women. Her "Amar Sonar Moina Pakhi" can easily render one upset and emotional, devoted to the inner meaning of the folk songs of Bengal. Her "Ujaan Ganger Naiyiaa", "Nao Ano Re Bhai", "Jogi Vikkha Loina", "Jare ja Chithi" are mostly applauded songs. Her "Amar Golar har Khule ne Na O Go Lolite" is arguably the most popular bicched (living-apart) folk song.
