Based on the analysis of individual poetic texts, it is concluded that the poet creates his own original poetic model of the world based on Sufi views that have received a kind of national refraction. Poems of this subject bear the stamp of the epoch and his personal dramatic fate. According to the author of the article, this Emin considers the earthly world as a temporary phenomenon in which it is not easy for a person. His lot is trials in which he is tested for spiritual strength. It should be noted that this world is not accepted by the poet, his thought is carried away to another world, the eternal world. At the same time, a poet who dreams of a perfect world appears in some works as a realist and utopian at the same time. The author of the article also investigates stylistic features of the construction of the verse.
