BOBORAHIM MASHRAB – AN OUTSTANDING UZBEK POET

Boborahim Mashrab is a great artist who brought a new spirit and unique creative breath to Uzbek classical poetry. Mashrab's poetry is distinguished by its sincerity, heavenlyness, and vitality. This poetry is also remarkable for the fact that it clearly shows the personality and fate of the real poet. In Mashrab's poems, word, tone, and image are elevated to a higher status than any other artist. In his ghazals, the word is inspired by the soul, and the meaning by the priesthood and the body. In one of the poet's ghazals, he said: "I walked restlessly in this steppe of grief with wonder." He is truly a lover-dervish in the steppe of pain, sorrow, and dreams. He moves from wonder to wonder, from wonder to truth and enlightenment.
