This article contains detailed information on the changes of poetic kinds, thematic diversity and level of architectonics of images in the Turkic poetry of late 14th-the first half of the 15th centuries. With the help of a number of concrete historical materials and literary citations, it discusses the dynamic development process of these traditional genres and explains their creative functions in the Mongolian literary life at that time. Particular focus is placed on the transfer of Turkish literature to a new qualitative stage of development, when traditional literature forms (Persian-Arabic literature) interacted with indigenous Turkic creative principles. The study concludes that these poetic developments were a precursor to the Khorezmiy "Golden Age" of Turkish literature, in particular Husayn's contemporary Alisher Navoiy works.
