The Unhappy Lovers of Alisher Navoi and Mahammad Fuzuli

Abstract

The article examines the unique style of poetic reflection of two great representatives of Turkic poetry, Alisher Navoi and Mahammad Fuzuli. Alisher Navoi, who creatively absorbed and developed the greatest achievements of Eastern poetry before him, had a life-giving influence on the Turkic and Persian poetry of those who followed him. One of the brightest representatives of art, who creatively continued and developed the traditions of master Alisher Navoi in the literature of the Turkic peoples, is the great Azerbaijani poet Mahammad Fuzuli. The creative relationship of these two brilliant artists is characterized not only by the harmony of one or several poetic images. The essence of the similarity of the poetic worlds of Navoi and Fuzuli lies in the correspondence of their attitude to social reality and the style of artistic reflection. The most important thing is that the poetic path of these artists, who combined love lyrics with a socially significant style of expression in their magnificent works and managed to include human sorrows and life tragedies in their love ghazals, became the main direction of our national verbal art for the next almost 500 years.
