"SUFI SYMBOLISM AND THE INTERPRETATION OF QUALITIES IN THE WORK LISON UT-TAYR
Abstract
This article provides a scientific and theoretical analysis of Sufi symbols and their artistic-philosophical interpretation in Alisher Navoi’s “Lison ut-Tayr”. The allegory of birds reflects the stages of human spiritual perfection, the struggle with the ego, and the journey toward divine love. The symbolism of Simurgh and the concept of unity are interpreted as central mystical ideas of the work.
