BRIEFLY ABOUT THE ROLE OF OGAHI
IN UZBEK LITERATURE 
 
Zokir Bektoshev, 
Student of Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies 
 
Abstract. This article describes the life of Muhammad Riza Ogahi, a 
brilliant representative of Uzbek classical literature and political leader. A 
careful study of Ogahi's work shows that he has his own views on the seasons, 
especially spring. The poet sees a harmony between the beauty of nature and the 
spirit of the lyrical hero. In addition, just as the charm of spring is not eternal, it 
reminds the poet that human life, especially youth compared to spring, passes 
like the wind. In other words, it is necessary to understand not only the quality of 
the poet's lines as an image of nature, but also the deep philosophy of life in 
them. This content is hidden in the essence of Ogahi's rubai and ghazals, which 
are logically close concepts and common artistic discoveries. In the article, we 
will look at the harmony of Ogahi's work with natural landscapes.

Muhammadrizo Erniyozbek oglu - Ogahi was one of the great figures of the 
Khorezm literary environment of the XIX century and was one of the most 
"good" poets after Navoi. 
Ogahi was born on December 1809, 17, in the village of Qiyot near Khiva 
(now a collective farm called Ogahi). 
After the death of his father Erniyozbek, the young Ogahi was adopted by 
his uncle Munis. The artists gathered around Munis had a great influence on the 
work of the future poet Ogahi. Agahi received his primary education from Munis 
Khorezmi and later studied at Khiva madrassas. After Munis's death in 1829, 
Allahqulikhan appointed Agahi as his successor. The poet visited many parts of 
the Khorezm oasis for his service and saw with his own eyes the miserable life of 
farmers and artisans. This affected Agahi's work. 
Agahi left a rich creative legacy. While still a student at the madrasa, he wrote a 
bayaz called Bayozi mutafarriqai forsi. In addition to the ghazals of Jami, Navoi, Hafiz, 
Sherazi, Bedil, and Fuzuli, he added fifteen ghazals and two muhammas to them. Agahi 
completed the historical work Firdavs ul-Iqbal, which his teacher Munis had begun but 
had not completed. He also wrote historical works on the history of the Khiva khanate, 
such as "Riyaz ud-davla", "Jome ul-waqoti Sultani", "Zubdat ut-tavorix", "Gulshani 
davlat", "Shahidi iqbol". Agahi is one of the rare masterpieces of world culture, such as 
Saadi Sherozi's "Gulistan", Nizami's "Haft Paykar", Hilali's "Shah and Gado", 
Kaykovus's "Qobusnoma", Kashifi's "Akhlaqi Muhsiniy", Jami's "Yusuf and Zulayho", 
translated his didactic works into Uzbek. 
In 1872, Agahi summed up his fragmented artistic heritage and created a 
divan called Ta'wiz ul-Ashiqin (The Lover's Tumor). This masterpiece, which is 
a masterpiece of our culture, covers 22 genres of Uzbek classical poetry.

Ogahi's work reflects the social life of the Khiva khanate in the XNUMXth 
century. By this time, Turkestan was occupied by Russia, and the people were 
oppressed on both sides. Agahi was deeply saddened by this and wished the 
people a free life. 
Agahi has an endless love for the world, man, looks at life with boundless 
love, has a strong interest in social processes. The poet sings about the beauty of 
life, the joy of love. The thinker skillfully incorporates social ideas into his work. 
For example, let's remember the following lines from the famous song "Feruz": 
 
O king, make the cabbage equal to the good and the bad during the months, 
Who, the light of mercy will fall equally on the ruined prosperity. 
How many years in the world, 
Walk like Solomon if your throne dries up. 
Agahi's ideas, imbued with a high humanistic spirit, influenced the political and 
enlightenment upbringing of the khan and poet Feruz. As a historian, he wrote poems 
dedicated to the khans of Khiva and great historical figures. The poet's poem "Qasidai 
nasihat" is a clear example of this. The work is dedicated to Feruz. In his sermons, 
Agahi set out to govern the kingdom and to govern the country and the people with 
justice. This poem is written in the genre of masnavi and vividly expresses the poet's 
political and enlightenment views. According to the poet, any head of state should have 
all the positive qualities to strengthen power. The king must be generous, courageous, 
just, zealous, generous, imaginative, pure-minded, cultured, considerate of the poor. The 
ruler argues that if he possesses these qualities, his power will be perfect and his country 
will be prosperous. 
Agahi also pointed out the ways of governing the state. According to the 
poet, the king must strictly follow the rules of Sharia. He must stay away from 
lust, conspiracy and gossip, ignorance, laziness, oppression, slander and 
materialism. The khan of Khiva listened to Feruz Ogahi's advice on governing 
the state, wrote his wise verses on marble stones and placed them in his petitions, 
and did many good deeds. 
During this period, the people of Khorezm were oppressed by the local rich 
and Russian invaders. Nevertheless, cultural and educational work developed in 
the khanate. Ogahi's enlightenment contributed greatly to this. Agahi's political 
lessons to Feruz are still relevant today. 
The poet-thinker tried to use all means to increase the human potential of 
the society, called the rulers to justice and mercy. Agahi wrote a poem in 1857 at 
the request of Sayyid Muhammad Khan. 
So now help the people, 
Topay is a dream in two worlds. 
O God, make me a place in this tower, 
Don't get me wrong. 
Know the fate of the unfaithful, 
Know the property with the priceless property.

Don't pay attention to property construction, 
Come, of course, to the oppressed! 
The poem was engraved on a marble pillar in the khan's palace in the old 
Ark. In his poem, the poet promoted the ideas of humanity, dreamed of just, 
enlightened leaders of the state and encouraged the khan to do so. 
Ogahi has consistently documented the history of the Khiva Khanate from 
1813 to 1873 on the basis of rich sources. Academician VV Bartold praised 
Ogahi's historical works: "The literary and historical works created by Munis 
and Ogahi… lag far behind all the works on the history of the Kokand and 
Bukhara khanates that have come down to us in terms of narration and the 
abundance of evidence." 
Conclusion 
Summarizing the above points, based on our research on the poetry of 
Muhammad Riza Ogahi, the great figure in Uzbek classical literature after 
Alisher Navoi and Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur, the smallest unit of oriental 
classical literature came to the following conclusion about the role of the verse in 
classical genres.
The byte is a whimsical poetic unit that requires a great deal of precision. 
Apart from the components, even the melody between the verses should be the 
same. In this sense, the rhyme of bytes in our classical poetry is of two types.
Agahi's historical works are distinguished by the richness and reliability of their 
evidence. Agahi's historical works are the first source for studying the history of 
neighboring fraternal peoples. His translated works introduced Khorezmian writers to 
the unique masterpieces of Arabic and Persian-Tajik literature, raised the spiritual level 
of the people, enriched the treasury of Uzbek literature with new works, and 
strengthened friendship and cultural ties between the peoples.
