Professor Bahadir Karim also expresses the following thoughts about the art of Mahmoud
Toir’s lyrics. “It is known that poets stamp their pseudonym-signature on the praise of classical
oriental literature, especially the ghazal genre. Mahmoud Toir, who received emphasis from this
tradition, adds his name to a verse of the final stanza of his poems, which he writes in the style of
modern poetry: “Qoshingda Mahmudning xush dami bu kun”, “Маhmudga siz jonsiz, jononsiz”,
“Sizga, ey do‘st, Mahmud kabi dildosh bor”, “Аgarchi hasaddan yiroq bo‘lmaysan, Маhmud, hech
bir dilga chiroq bo‘lmaysan”, “Аyo, Маhmud, maysalarning tili borga o‘xshaydi”, “Маhmudga shu
tuproq quchog‘i Vatan”, “Shu ko‘hna haqiqatni Mahmud takrorlar mudom”.
Unlike other poets of our time, this attitude is considered an important characteristic of
Mahmud Toir’s poems, a stylistic novelty that suits him” [8; 111-116].
In fact, as the scientists admit, we can witness that such a tradition in the classical literature
system was developed in the direction of renewal as a result of literary research in Mahmoud Toir’s
quartets. For example, in the third stanza of the quatrain analyzed above, it is quoted in the style of
“Don't scatter my dew in the desert, Mahmud”, and the lyrical hero directs his admonitions
primarily to himself and brings out thoughts that are important for all humanity. At this point, he
brings his name in the third line of the poem, breaking the classical tradition. In classical poetry,
this program is often used at the beginning or end of the last stanza of the poem.
Below we observe another innovation in the poet quartet:
Shabnam sharobidan xushdirsan, Mahmud,
Oshiqsan, ko‘kdagi qushdirsan, Mahmud
Bulbuldek bog‘zingda qalqisa joning,
G‘uncha ko‘rolmagan tushdirsan, Mahmud.
In this quatrain, the poet makes extensive use of radif harmony and mentions his name at the
end of the verses. As we all know, along with ensuring the rhythm and melodiousness of a certain
similar poem, at the same time, it is of particular importance in expressing the essence of the poem
in an emotionally impressive way. Therefore, the poet mentions the word “Mahmud” in his
quatrain, which reflects the idea of the poem, attracts the readers’ attention, and serves to fulfill the
function of literary tact. The fact that this method is the result of the poet’s literary research is
clearly visible in the poetic verses.
Baxilning tosh yorar ko‘zi bor, do‘stim.
Tumorda Tangrining so‘zi bor, do‘stim.
Iymon-e'tiqodda sobitsan agar,
O‘zingda Xudoning o‘zi bor, do‘stim.[9;290].
We can observe that the classical poetic traditions are widely developed in a new direction
in this quartet of the poet. The enemy does not always say “let it be” to the person he is jealous of,
on the contrary, he is jealous of his wealth and wealth. Our people consider the made amulet
jewelry as sacred and explain the concept that the person who wears it cannot be seen through the
metaphor of “the word of Alloh” ideas about are literaryally depicted. It is known that these ideas
were widely praised in the works of our classic poets Khoja Ahmad Yassavi, Nasimi, Navoi, and
Mahtumquli. Therefore, there is no doubt that the content typical of classical literature has found its
expression in Mahmud Toir's quatrains, which have been analyzed.
In Mahmud Toir’s quatrains, the views and opinions of the poet are depicted in various
poetic ways in a colorful way, and the poem attracts the reader’s attention with its literary and
aesthetic effect.
In general, quatrains, one of the small lyrical forms in the lyrics of Mahmud Toir, are small
in size, but they contain deep meaning and content, as well as the continuation and development of
classic classical traditions.
