After graduating from university, he worked as a proofreader, a reporter, an editor-in-chief, a section editor, and a translator for various newspapers and journals. In addition to his own literary studies, he has made in-language translations of Kutadgu Bilig and Navoi’s works into modern Uzbek language. In addition, he translated the works of Blok, Pushkin, Nietzsche, Byron, Tagore, Stefan Zweig, Svetlana Alexievich, and other artists into Uzbek. In general, Parda’s poems display variety and originality in their themes. Parda is interested in nearly all aspects of life, and it is possible to classify his poems according to content and themes under the following main headings: love, loyalty, modesty, friendship, separation, faith, the human being, the poet’s inner world, homeland, nature, homesickness, and criticism. Parda’s ‘lyrical style of feeling and expression’ is especially evident in his poems about love. The poet seeks justice, and his verses address themes such as: human subjugation; problems and injustices caused by those lacking expertise in their fields; greed and deceit; oppression of the weak; hypocrisy; and unethical behavior for the sake of social status.
