Abstract

This article investigates the Khorezm literary environment, a specific manifestation of the Diwan tradition of Khiva, formed by Muhammad Rahim Khan II Feruz of Khiva in the late 19th- early 20th centuries. It also explores the prince poets who composed diwans in such works as Laffasi's Tazkirai Shuaro, Bayani's Haft Shuaro, Tabibi's Majmuat Ush-shuaroi Feruzshohiy, and Babajan Tarrakh's Xorazm Navozandalari. Approximately ten poets included in Majmuat Ush-shuaroi Feruzshohiy are princes from the royal family, their ghazals are featured predominantly in the Tazkira. This article delineates the manuscripts of prince poets who lived and created in Khorezm. These include Muhammad Rahim Khan II Feruz's grandson, Sayyid Muhammad Nasir Tura Sultani's Devoniy Sultoniy, and the last khan, Sayyid Abdullakhan's (khan of Khiva during 1918-1920) son, Saadulla Tura Saadi's Devoni Sa’diy. These manuscripts are held in the Manuscript Fund of the Institute of Oriental Studies, named after Abu Rayhan Biruni, in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The year of copying, the scribe, the preservation status of the sources, the genres of the poems presented in the diwans, and their position are all discussed. The article also conducts a textual study of poetry works, ghazals, mustahzod, and muhammas to continue the classical traditions of Sayyid Muhammad Nasir Tura Sultani and Saadulla Tura Saadi
