Theories about rubaiyat were first expressed in classical sources, in particular in the works of “Funun ul - balogha” by Sheikh Ahmad Tarazi, in the works “Mezon ul -avzon” by Alisher Navoi and in “Treatise of Aruz” (“Mukhtasar”) by Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur. The descriptions of the rubai in these works differ from each other. The poets were creating in the genres of classical poetry such as tuyuk and rubaiyat, alongside with the lyric genres that were introduced by European poetry. The same aspects of the poetry of Khabibi, SabirAbdulla and Chusti are being analyzed.
