The life and poetry of Adela Nicolson have inspired a wide range of adaptations, beginning with British composer Amy Woodforde-Finden's musical settings of four of the lyrics from The Garden of Kama to music.
The most popular of these was Kashmiri Song.
After the songs proved a critical success, Woodforde-Finden added four settings of lyrics from Nicolson's 1903 book Stars of the Desert.
African-American composer Harry Burleigh published Five Songs of Laurence Hope in 1915.

The Mary Pickford film Less Than the Dust (1916) was ostensibly inspired by the poem and song of the same title.
Stoll Pictures released a film entitled The Indian Love Lyrics in 1923.

Fictional literary works based on Nicolson's life or poetry include Somerset Maugham's The Colonel's Lady (Creatures of Circumstance, 1947).
This was also adapted into a segment of the film Quartet (1948).
Later fictional works include Mary Talbot Cross's Fate Knows no Tears (1996) and Tim Orchard's That Bloody Female Poet (a book before Google) (2011).

In the 1910s and 1920s, dances based on The Garden of Kama were created and performed by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, Martha Graham and Michio Ito.
