The first poems of the poet and public figure, People's Poet of Uzbekistan Abdulla Aripov, such as "Goldfish", "Why I love Uzbekistan" were written during his student years. Shortly afterwards, the publication of the first collection of poems, Little Star (1965), confirmed the correctness of this initial notion that appeared among fans of poetry.

Aripov entered Uzbek poetry in the 1960s as an ambassador for the new wind that had begun in the former Soviet Union. From his earliest poems, he was on the way to establishing a new poetic thinking in national poetry; the new views that began to emerge in marriage, the changes in the spiritual world of people, the need for freedom of thought and action defined the ideological content of Aripov's poems.
The romantic mood in Aripov's early poems gradually gave way to philosophical observations, and the poet's attitude to life events became more active. In this sense, poems such as "Goldfish", "Reserve", "Genetics", "Crowd" show that Aripov expands the horizons of lyrical poetry at the expense of the depiction of life's problems. The same thing led to Aripov's appeal to the epic genre and his effective use of lyro-epic imagery. Abdulla Aripov in his epics "The Way to Heaven" (1978), "The Judge and Death" (1980), "Ranjkom" (1988) paid special attention to the issues of spirituality, with some shortcomings in the spiritual world of people. revealed the contradiction between the flight of contemplation.
