This article presents a comprehensive, publication-ready study of the manuscript heritage, poetic worldview, and literary-aesthetic significance of Mutrib Xonaxarob within the broader context of Uzbek classical literature. Relying strictly on archival manuscripts and scholarly works listed in the provided references, the research undertakes an in-depth textual, historical, and theoretical analysis of Mutrib Xonaxarob’s oeuvre, particularly his devons preserved in manuscript collections and his major narrative poems. The study situates Mutrib Xonaxarob within the intellectual and cultural currents of enlightenment-oriented thinking, examining how ethical didacticism, philosophical reflection, and poetic innovation intersect in his works. Special attention is devoted to the role of manuscript transmission, the variability of textual witnesses, and the implications of these factors for understanding authorial intent and literary meaning. Through extensive elaboration, the article explores the poet’s narrative structures, symbolic imagery, aesthetic principles, and contribution to the renewal of poetic images in classical Uzbek literature. The methodology combines manuscript description, comparative textual reading, and literary-theoretical interpretation grounded in tazkira traditions and modern philological scholarship. The findings demonstrate that Mutrib Xonaxarob’s creativity represents a crucial link between classical poetic conventions and evolving enlightenment ideals, reflecting a dynamic literary consciousness rather than static imitation. The discussion further addresses limitations inherent in manuscript-based research and outlines future prospects for interdisciplinary and comparative studies. Overall, the article argues that Mutrib Xonaxarob should be understood not merely as a regional poet but as an important figure whose works embody broader processes of cultural continuity and renewal in Central Asian literary history.
