The article examines the works of Syr region poets, focusing on the genres of rubai and ghazal, which promote moral and spiritual education. It is concluded that Eastern poetry, through the nazira tradition, significantly influenced the thematic, generic, and stylistic development of Kazakh literature. The study analyzes the reflection of moral and spiritual values in the poetry of T. Iztileuuly, Sh. Umary, and S. Bekshentaevich, where diverse character traits are interwoven with ethical issues. Rubai and ghazal, central genres in Eastern poetry, embody deep philosophical, lyrical, and didactic meanings. Syr poets skillfully mastered these traditions, emphasizing spiritual values, human qualities, and religious themes. Their quatrains, though brief, express profound and complete thoughts in a poetic structure shaped by Eastern influence. The poets’ works highlight universal virtues such as kindness, honesty, and compassion, guiding readers toward self-knowledge and moral growth through faith in Allah. Ultimately, rubai and ghazal in Syr poetry are presented as an artistic continuation of literary tradition, fostering cultural harmony and spiritual integrity.
