Abstract: The verse studying in the East, especially in Central Asia was developed in two directions: The first - learning the meaning of verse. The main question of the first turn was – “What is verse?” First direction tries to explain the essence of poetic word and the role of poetry, its influence on people’s lives, why poetry is needed, its social functions and importance in formation of artistic and philosophical mind. The second - learning the structural aspects and elements of verse. The second turn answered to the question – “From what internal elements verse consists of?” Second direction sought answers to questions from what elements the verse is composed of, how sounds unite which each other to form a meter (wazn), what wazn is, what are the rules of verse creation, what principles should be followed to create a good verse. Marked two directions of poetic science have had a single object that is the poem. However, research methodology of two directions, i.e. methods and ways of studying and analyzing the verse were different. In the development of these two directions there was significance role of Movarounnahr scholars.
