This article examines the influence of the Enlightenment movement that emerged in Central Asia during the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century on the development of Uzbek literature. It analyzes the thematic, generic, and stylistic transformations that took place in literature during this period, as well as the transition from classical literature to Enlightenment and Jadid literature. The study also highlights the growing significance of humanism, nationalism, freedom, and educational ideas in poetry and investigates their artistic expression in the works of prominent representatives of the Khorezm literary environment, including Feruz, Tabibiy, Bayaniy, Avaz Otar Oglu, Niyazi, Kamil Devaniy, Kamyob, Sufi, Safo Muganniy, Aqil, Chokar, and Faqiriy.
