Abstract. The study of Mukhimiy's life began even before his passing, as evidenced by various discussions about his poems. Nikolai Ostroumov published the first compilation of Mukimiy's works four years after the poet's death in 1907. [1] This collection, titled "Devoni Muqimiy" included not only Mukimi's poems but also a short biography and information about his creative process. In 1910, Portsev lithography published a second edition of the poet's works under the title "Devoni Muqimiy maa hajviyot." Articles about Mukimi's work continued to appear in newspapers and journals. The esteemed poet Gafur Gulam played a significant role in preserving Mukimi's legacy. Thanks to Gulam's initiative, the "Muqimiy bayozi" was compiled and published in 1938. This collection included 27 of Mukimi's poems, totaling 800 lines. The poems were organized by genre (satire-humor, lyrics) and accompanied by explanatory notes and dictionaries. In 1950, a selection of Mukimi's poems translated into Russian was published in Moscow under the title "Lirika i Satira". The year 1953 marked the 50th anniversary of Mukimi's death and saw a surge in scholarly interest. Several publications laid the groundwork for future studies of the poet's life and work. These included H. Yagubov's "O’zbek shoiri Muqimiy", A. Olimjonov's "Muhammad Amin Muqimiy," H. Zaripov's "Muhammad Amin Muqimiy," and H. Razzakov's book "Muqimiy va Zavqiy." Additionally, a collection of articles dedicated to Mukimi was published during this period. This article explores how Mukimi's life and contributions were presented in literature textbooks used in Uzbekistan before the country gained independence.
