The comparative analysis of ghazals with radifs “Dawn” of Navai and Fuzuli

Abstract

In the middle centuries, ghazals, odes, etc. were appreciated by poetry and art connoisseurs in classical Eastern literature. There has always been a tradition of writing nazires (imitations). It is known that genius Fuzuli also wrote a nazire to some ghazals of many well-known poets and many ghazals of the Jigatay-Uzbek classic A.Navai. Among these ghazals, the ghazals “Dawn” with the radifs attract more attention. The article talks about the similarities and differences we encounter in the diwans of two great poets of classical Eastern literature – Navai and Fuzuli. This psychological and stylistic affinity, which has been generally noted since the beginning of the medieval tazkirists, is explored here on the basis of concrete facts. By mentioning some ghazals of the same radif and same voluminous, as well as the masnavis of “Leyli and Majnun”, Navai's 1 ghazal with the radif “Dawn” and 2 ghazals written by Fuzuli as imitation to this ghazal are revealed by comparison.
