Abstract

Fuzuli is a unique love poet, an example of real love. In his works, the sublime human feeling called love is praised, falling in love is presented as the greatest human fate. To the extent that Fuzuli is a poet, he is also a scientist and a wise man. As a creative person, his universality allows him to express his thoughts in a unique way. In addition, the unity of meaning and form in his ghazals gives mature questions to be aware of the mysterious and magical intricacies of the inner world of a person in love. Fuzuli's mastery as a poet lies in his ability to find rich expressive shades of words and use them in different situations. Here, the search for divine meaning is combined with mastery of expression.

The multi-hued expression of mythological images, drawing a parallel between Nasimi and Fuzuli, as a result of the observations of the world, life, and people of the two great wordsmiths, comparing their self-expressions on the scale of letter writing and Sufism, emphasizing the emergence of mature creative examples as an expression of transcending the rule of time (mainly religion). In Nasimi, self-absorption (finding own truth) appears in the form of absolute, uncompromising, fearless, open self-expression, while in Fuzuli, it is Sufism - the lover's self-expression is also accompanied by taking Time into account. It can be said that the dimension of Sufism is at the root of Fuzuli's duality, as well as that the prohibition of religion is known as a rule. However, it is understood that at the core of Fuzuli's love, being known as the divine poet of the East, is his appreciation of Love, his unique image - his elevation of Love to the level of religion. In the article, the multi-hued expression of mythological images in Fuzuli’s ghazals is known based on suitable examples, Allah (God, Lord), Heaven, Hell, Falak (Time), Khizr, Pari, etc. is analyzed.
