Dada emphasizes the importance of choosing language based on the words and audience, whether it be Urdu or Kashmiri. He believes that once a poem is shared with the public, it transcends the poet and becomes an asset of the people, shaping the poet’s identity.

Over the years, Bashir Dada has been honored with numerous awards, including the Akashwani Annual Award, National Symposium of Poets Award, Jammu and Kashmir Cultural Academy, and Khilat e Mahjor Award, recognizing his outstanding contributions as an actor and playwright.
