Abstract
This work is the final part of a comprehensive analysis of poetic forms in Babur's autobiography. It deals with the compositions that are commonly recognized to be compiled by the author himself.
This assumption is based on previous publications of his literary heritage including a collection of his poems and research on the translations of Baburnama. Within the framework of this article, each verse will be considered against the background of the Persian-Turkic works of his contemporaries (for example, Jami, Navai, Khondamir, Farishta, Shah Gharib Mirza), as well as famous poets of the earlier Middle Ages (Ferdowsi, Saadi).
A research in this direction can further contribute to the compilation of a critical text of all his poems.
