This early love for literature and poetry blossomed into a profound passion, culminating in the publication of her poetry collection titled Hamraz-e-Eshgh (Companion of Love).

As a dedicated member of the Hafez Literature Group in the U.A.E., Marjan actively contributes to the celebration and preservation of Persian literary heritage. Her work beautifully reflects a fusion of artistic expression, mysticism, and a deep-seated love for the poetic tradition. Marjan Same stands as a beacon of inspiration, weaving the essence of her cultural roots into every stroke of paint and line of verse.
