His imaginary appearance is engraved on the headstone of the grave. In 1927, archeologists conducted investigations in the Gulabird graveyard and the tomb, where the tomb of Sari Ashig was located, and concluded that the tombs belonged to the 17th century. "A good and the Ashig" epic was created among the people about the life of Sari Ashig. He is known mainly for his bayatis. He preferred this genre against those who said "bayati is women's business". He was also the author of many love poems, often used proverbs and saying them in his poems.[2]
