Alisher Navoi was often the prince's own supporter and it was often his responsibility to reconcile them.

Alisher Navoi's poetic genius revived at the end of the 15th century. He has published 2 major works in 2 years -
The epic "Lison ut-tayr" ("Language of birds") and the scientific work "Muhokamat ul-lug'atayn" ("Discussion of two languages")
created his work. Another of Alisher Navoi's last great works was written in prose
It is "Mahbubul-qulub" ("Love of hearts"). He is the author of "Gulistan" by Sheikh Saadi in the history of Oriental literature.
Kaikovus's Qobusnoma and Nizami Aruzi Samarkandi's Chor Makala are among his works. This

In December 1500, Hussein Bayqara made peace with his rebellious son, Muhammad Hussein, and marched on Herat.
on his return, he points out that Alisher Navoi should also meet him. There was a 2-3 day trip in between.
Alisher Navoi wrote his last poem in Poyob raboti and copied it from Hussein
He sent it to the boy. On the third day, Alisher Navoi felt bad as he approached the prospect of a ruler
he fainted when he saw her, did not regain consciousness, and died.
Alisher Navoi's literary and scientific heritage can be divided into 4 seasons: 1. Devons. 2. Epics. 3. Persian
poetic heritage in the language. 4. Scientific-philological, prose and historical works.
Alisher Navoi's poetic legacy in the Uzbek language is mainly concentrated in the "Khazayn ul-Maoniy" divan.
The work consists of 4 parts. The first part of the Devon is called "The Strange Cow" ("Childhood Wonders"), the second
"Navodir ush-shabab" ("Rareness of youth") to the part, "Badoe 'ul-vasat" ("Middle age") to the third part
and finally, the fourth part was called Fawaid ul-Kibar (The Benefits of Old Age).
"Khazayn ul-Maoniy" is associated with the complex and lofty thinking and innumerable feelings of the human child.

event. This complex was built only by Amir Khisrav Dehlavi before Alisher Navoi. This
Alisher Navoi wrote thousands of poems throughout his life in different circumstances, for different reasons
written with, they are connected by innumerable threads with the life of the poet and the period in which he lived. Alisher
Before Navoi "Khazayn ul-maoniy" the devons "Ilk devon", "Badoe 'ul-bidoya", "Navodir un-nihoya"

formed on the basis of written poems.
The idea of ​​compiling all the poems of Alisher Navoi in his old age and creating 4 devons in chronological order
which was. However, Hussein Boykaro, who was the editor of Khazayn ul-Maoniy, supported this idea.
seems unsupported. His "Gharoyib us-sig'ar" devon consists not only of childhood exercises, "Navodir ushshabob" youth poems, but also of the poet's later period poetry.
There are also examples of his miracles, which Hussein Boykaro liked. For this reason, a conditional understanding of the content of the names of the 4 devons in the composition of "Khazayn ulmaoniy", in which the poems are often mixed
should not be overlooked.

Alisher Navoi's love and related hymns, especially his poems, were written in his youth.
This was included in his "First Office", popularly known as "Black Eyes", "Kelmadi" ("Prayer").
his well-known and sung ghazals are a good example. In poems like this, the poet is pure and lofty
was able to express romantic experiences with high passion and philosophy.
His radiant ghazal "I did not find" also returned from Mashhad to Herat during this period.
