Abstract

In the study, the work of Nabi Khazri, which constitutes an interesting and unique page in Azerbaijani literature of the 20th century with its nationality and universal humanity, is considered in the context of enrichment through oral folk literature. As can be seen from the folklore images and motifs used by the poet, this poetry reveals a deep and organic attachment to the life and spirituality of the people.

The use of folk sayings, proverbs, various folklore motifs and cults of nature images in the lyrics of Nabi Khazri further enhances the influence of the ideas that the poet glorifies. For example, in the poet’s work, the central place is occupied by the image of chinar (plane tree), which is directly closely related to the theme of the homeland. Chinar, as a significant character, is dear to the poet in that he expresses the spirituality, history, character, greatness and sublimity of his people.

In the poetry of the master of words, which embodies an artistic reflection of samples of oral folk literature, a poetic description of our national and spiritual values, a philosophical tone and harmony are also manifested. However, the depth of meaning and content, the artistic and aesthetic value of Nabi Khazri’s works, are directly related to the folk spirit, the folk way of thinking, which are imbued in their content.
