The writer's novella titled "Bog‘larda bahor" ("Spring in the Gardens") was published in 1969. Relying on the experience he gained in writing stories and novellas, the writer created his novel titled "Osmon ustuni" ("Pillar of the Sky") (1976). After that, the book "Begona," consisting of the writer's novels, novellas, and stories, and the novella "Shahar tegirmoni" ("City Mill") were published as separate books.
