His brother Sayed Mansur Naderi survived imprisonment and later became a prominent political and military figure in Afghanistan.

Naderi published four poetry collections: Ghunchaha (The Buds), Khun e Del (The Heart's Blood), Armaghan e Zindan (A Gift from Prison), and Tuhfae Share (The Poet's Gift).
