Nizami Ganjavi’s Poetry in Turkish Literature
Abstract
Nizami’s creativity, which has played a significant role in the development of Eastern epic poetry, also influenced Turkish artistic literature. He played an important role in the widespread dissemination of humanist ideas, the praise of high moral qualities, and topics such as love and heroism. Like Nizami’s poems, which were translated and spread into Turkish, Khamsa imitations also began to appear in Turkish language. The tradition of responding to Nizami’s Khamsa and writing on Nizami’s themes has become a creative challenge in Turkish literature, as it was among Persian, Uzbek, and Indian peoples. Turkish poets have also tested their pens in this field once again, continuing Nizami’s traditions.
