and sorrows, their dreams of happiness in their poems.
Also, in Navoi’s poetry, the image of women is further
enriched by showing her social status and activity,
along with the descriptions of believers, enlightened,
beautiful and graceful. The poet, who wants to
increase the number of literate people in his circles, to
read poetry with love among the people, and for the
people’s children to be educated, does not hide his
respect for women, because science and art were
prominent areas of social life where Navoi lived. In his
poetry, Navoi expresses his dreams in idealized images.
These images make up a large part of the images of
women. It expresses the desire and dreams of women
and introduces them to the reader. In Navoi's Shariat,
we can see women who are innocent women,
intelligent and skilled women, skilled riders, musicians
and musicians, queens and statesmen. Navoi wants
women to be educated and mature in every field. In his
lyrics, he glorifies pure love and friendship. The poet
expresses his impressions from social life, joy and
sadness, dreams and hopes in his poems. For example,
in the following verse fro
m the work “Navodir ush
-
shabab” it is written:
Kimki, oning bir malaksiymo parivash yori
bor,
Odami bo‘lsa, pari birla malakdin ori bor.
Kecha ulkim chirmanur bir gul bila, ne tong,
agar
C’unchadek har subh o‘lub xandon nashot
izhori bor.
This ghazal is a manifestation of spiritual
perfection. It also invites us to reflect on family
relationships by giving life lessons. In the ghazal, we
find noble qualities such as loyalty, devotion, and self-
sacrifice. Socially active women have built a strong
family as much as they have preserved their loyalty to
their love. Navoi dreamed of becoming a devoted
lover, a true lover of such malaksiyms. Such love is a
royal couplet: He create
s the verses “malaksiyma
parivash or pari birla malakdin”. The poet’s famous
ghazal “Qaro ko‘zim” is a vivid proof of this idea.
Qaro ko‘zim, kel
-
u mardumlig‘ emdi fan qilg‘il,
Ko’zim qarosida mardum kibi vatan qilg‘il.
A woman’s eyes always ha
ve magical power, she
expresses in her poem that through these eyes she can
show love, affection and modesty. Navoi describes the
image of a woman in the poetry of the East with high
skill. In his ghazals, he reflects a woman’s love,
sufferings of hijran, compassion and love:
Ul pari paykarki ,hayron bo‘lmish insu jon anga,
Kimki hayron emas, men telbamen hayron anga.
Yoki yana bir boshqa g‘azalida shunday deydi:
Yashil to‘n birla oltin tugmalardin zebu var anda,

Qading naranj ra’no naxlidu
r butkan samar anda [1]
It can be seen that Navoi paid attention to women’s
clothing and appearance in addition to their love and
loyalty. In that period, women’s wearing of green
tunics is a reflection of their beauty. We can also find
these ver
ses in Navoi’s collection of ghazals called
“Topmadim”;
Qilg‘ali kiygan libosin ul buti zebo binafsh,
Vahki, yoqmas xotirimg‘a hech rang illo binafsh.
Sarvi ra’no hullamu kiymish binafsha bargidin,
Yo libosin aylamish ul chobuki ra’no binafsh [1. 325].
In ancient times, green was considered the color of
Hizr, the color of life and youth. While creating the
image of a woman, Navoi skillfully describes her
appearance and dress code. We can learn from these
verses that it was customary for women to wear green
tunics during the time when Navoi lived. With this, we
can also notice the dress culture of Eastern women,
women’s savs, pink dresses. In Navoi’s lyrics, women
are not depressed, they rejoice with their well-being,
joy and beauty. In his poems, women have the
advantage of having an unprecedented beauty and
causing pain to the lover, burning him in the pain of
hijran. The poet does not have a negative attitude
towards women in any of his ghazals, perhaps the lover
skillfully expresses the pain of the lover, not the pain of
the lover. Makes a woman look like flowers;
Shu’lai
ruxsorig’a
ko’nglim
qushi
aylonadur,
Tong emas,gul sham’ig’a bulbul agar
parvonadur.
Or in another byte:
Ul pari paykarki,hayron bo ‘lmish insu jon anga,
Kimki hayroni emas,men telbamen hayron anga.
Otashin gul chunki bulbul kuydurur yuz vajh
ila,
Ne osig’ faryodu afg‘on birla ming doston
anga .
Also:
Dardu g‘am bo‘stoning tovusidir ko‘nglim qushi,
Gul bo‘lib jismimda kesgan na’l har yondin anga [1. 34
-
35].
He makes a woman like a flower and a lover like a
nightingale. With this, Navoi appreciates the honor and
modesty of a woman, shows that her love is a flower in
her div, and shows respect to a woman. It is said in
the description of Shirin in N
avoi’s epic “Farhad and
Shirin”: “Yuzi gul,lek gul xirmanidek….” It is not for
nothing that the Turkish folklorist Portav Noili Baratov
was inspired by his verses and in his epic “Gul ila
Alisher” Alisher girl’s face resembles a flower.

The poet also beautifully describes the spiritual
experiences, desires and aspirations of women in his
lyrics. In fact, Alisher Navoi is a unique person in world
literature, an incomparable poet and encyclopedic
scholar. His position in poetry: the owner of four great
books, the fourth creator of the work “Khamsa”, the
author of two great tazkiras
–
“Nasayimul
-
muhabbat”
and “Majolis un
-
nafais”. We can see that Alisher
Navo
i’s ghazals are divided into praise and praise
ghazals, social, romantic, moral, didactic, lyrical,
landscape and portrait ghazals. In the Uzbek poetry of
the poet, the genre of ghazal is distinguished due to its
high content, form and artistry. Ghazals are written
primarily for women, for women, to awaken her heart,
to know what is on her mind, to understand her
flirtations. “The male of the bird also sings” says our
wise people, a man is interested in a woman.
Therefore, the main hero of poets is a woman. Navoi's
ghazals have a wide range of topics. Love, social-
political, moral topics are covered in them so skillfully
that one can see an example of artistic thinking in each
ghazal. But none of them is a female figure. In Navoi's
poetry, important problems of social and political life,
comments about the representatives of different
classes of that time, and advice on good morals were
also penned. The image of women in his ghazals is full
of beautiful images. In it, we see women’s marriage,
attitude towards women, intelligence, loyalty and
loyalty, intelligence and wisdom. Perfect artistic
images of women such as Shirin, Layli, Dilorom and
Mehinbonu were created in their epics. In these images
dreams and ideals are combined with reality. At the
same time, Na
voi opposes women’s injustice and
portrays girls who can think independently. For
example, we can cite such characters as Shirin, Mehr,
Layli and Navdar’s daughter. We think that Dilorom's
answers to Bahrom in the saga “Sabai Sayyor” are not
due to arrogance, but because he can quickly express
his independent opinion. Also, the image of Akhi’s wife
Gulshehra, who appears in the story of the 1st stranger
in the epic, is the image of a family-oriented, strong-
willed and loyal woman. The women in Navoi’s lyric
s
fight for their freedom and are distinguished by their
activeness in the social and political life of society.
Navoi embodies women in the images of mother, wife,
wife, sister and daughter. It shows their place and
status in social life, and highly appreciates their
participation in education, science, state and public
affairs. Navoi activates women against the restriction
of women’s participation in society. The image of
women appearing in every epic of Khamsa is fighters
and social activists, because women have played an
important role in the development of society. In the
epics of Navoi, we meet the image of mothers who are
active and intelligent in raising children. In the epic
“Saddi Iskandari”, Iskandar’s mother, as a symbol of all
mothers, is valuable because she gives the feeling of

love for the Motherland, work, and the desire for
knowledge. Navoi expressed his love for his mother
and respect for women in his lyrics. The great scholars
of the East, Firdavsi, Nizami, Jami and many other
poets created female characters with love and skill. But
Navoi was more devoted to the protection of women
than anyone else. The poet is on a continent:
Yuz tuman nopok erdin yaxshiroq,
Pok xotinlar oyog ‘ining izi,[
3]
That he considers women worthy of respect,
poems are written in their honor. A positive attitude
towards women is very vividly expressed in the work
of the poet. It is noteworthy that we meet the image
of active women who fight for their rights in the work
of the poet in relation to women who are discriminated
against by certain classes. In his ghazals, Alisher Navoi
reflects on the management of society, which is one of
the important problems of social and political life, and
how managers should be.
Yordin ayru ko‘ngil mulkedurur sultoni yo‘q,
Mulkkim, sultoni yo‘q, jismedururkim joni yo‘q.
In this stanza, the main focus is that it is impossible
to lose the heart of the soul, the soul is the king of the
soul. Also, the poet says that it is impossible for the
country to exist without a sultan in social life. That is,
he compares the sultan to the soul of the country. With
this, Navoi expresses his socio-political views on
society and its management. He also mentions what
the head of management - a king, a sultan - should be,
and what qualities he should have. At the same time,
he combines these thoughts while creating the image
of a woman - Mehinbanu, as the leader of the times.
In the articles and stories of Navo’s work
“Hayratul Abror” he emphasizes that the greatest
person on earth is a human being.
Ganjing aro naqd farovon edi,
Lek boride g ‘araz inson edi.
Turfa kalomingg’a dog‘i komil ul
Sirri nihoningg‘a dog‘i nomi ul [4]
So, if man is the greatest of creatures, his first
teacher is a woman. In a word, Navoi’s work is covered
by various topics, and he has a great advantage over
other poets in writing the image of women in his
poetry. The image of a woman is a symbol of modesty
and Ibo in the East. The theme of the role of a woman
in social life is also expressed in the poet’s poetic
works. Alisher Navoi revealed the social position of a
woman in his ghazals. In his ghazals, the thinker raised
the image of a woman to a high level of respect,
reflected her place in society, the emotions of the soul
in social life in his poetry. Along with human love, divine
love, it also glorifies enlightenment, knowledge and
wisdom, kindness, humility and truth. In the poetry of

the poet, the image of women is always written with
beautiful allusions.
O’yladurkim, ilgini hino uza qilmish nigor,
Ulki gulgun ko’nglak usra to‘nin epkin aylamish.
Gar Navoiyg‘a Sulaymon mulkicha
bordur ne tong,
Buki Bilqisi zamon nazmini tahsin
aylamish [1. 325]
As it is said in the hadiths of Navoi, “An old woman will
not enter paradise” with the metaphor: “Allah
rejuvenates a woman and enters paradise”. By
equating women with Bilqisi’s time, Navoi turns his
attention to women in classical poetry to reality behind
metaphors and enriches his work. The poet chooses
the beauty and beauty of the female image,
intelligence, knowledge, activeness in the affairs of the
state and the country, courage in battles like a necklace
in the poem. In his ghazals, Navoi shows the
progressive thoughts and ideas against the lifestyle of
his time and the discrimination of women. He states
that raising the position of women in social life,
respecting her science and art, are his life dreams. The
image of women is vividly depicted in Eastern epics.
They are the epitome of faithful and loyal women who
remain faithful to their loved ones for a lifetime. In
Navoi’s epics, he instills in his works the great
importance of family education in creating the images
of noble and loyal girls such as Layli, Shirin, Mehr,
Dilorom, and Navfal’s daughter. In the epics, he
acknowledges that the parents of characters like Laila,
Mehr, and Ravshanak are morally high people. Fathers,
according to their custom, do not oppose girls’
education, but create conditions for girls’ interests and
education, and value their intelligence. We can see that
the female figure created by Navoi found a perfect
expression in his work “Khamsa”. Another socially
active female character of the poet is the character of
Shirin. He describes it with the following lines:
Labidin tomibu oqib latofat,
Yuzidin oqibu tomib malohat,
Bo‘yida hullalardin ruh olib qut,
Valealvonidin yuz aql mabhut.
Labining har so‘zi yuz jonga ofat,
Sochi har tori ming imonga ofat [5].
Every word on Shirin’s lips is
graceful and gives
pleasure to the whole soul. So, she is a socially active
and perfect woman with such qualities as intelligence,
courage, loyalty and patriotism. His spiritual world,
philanthropy and science can be felt in his creative
works. In this example, Navoi creates the image of a
sincere and perfect person who can serve as an
example both for the period in which he lived and for

the period after. Because at that time, it was difficult
for women to learn, and thousands of girls were
illiterate. Th
at’s why in Navoi’s works, he sets the
highest goal of making women literate and raising
educated women. Considering the period in which
Navoi lived, this is an expression of great nobility.
In the classic Uzbek literature, Navoi took a
positive approach to the issue of women and created
beautiful and perfect images of women. Positive
ghazals and odes are written in their honor. The more
we study and observe the great poet’s poems and
epics, the more our thoughts expand. Alisher Navoi’s
ghazals in
the “Khazain ul
-
Ma’ani” library, which
contains lyrical works, testify not only to the number,
but also to the deep thinking of the poet. Navoi created
images about women in such a way that he tries to
raise her position in social life. For example, he creates
a number of charming ghazals on the theme of “Jon”
and “Jonon”.
“Har labing o‘lganni turg‘izmakda jono, jon erur,
Bu jihatdan bir-birisi birla jonajon erur.
Hushdurur jonu jahon jonon birla,
jonon agar bo‘lmasa,
Jon o‘ylakim o‘lmas, jahon zindon
erur.”
Seeing that the word “jonon” is repeated several
times in the ghazals, we admire the poet’s ingenuity
and ingenuity. In his poems dedicated to women,
Navoi always put forward blessed ideas about love,
loyalty, and devotion. Jonon - mahbub, dilbar, dilorom,
sanam - all these are synonyms of a woman. Alisher
Navoi describes the inner and outer beauty of female
characters in his works with high artistic taste and skill.
It fully reflects the feeling of understanding,
understanding and feeling the pain of a woman.
Navoi tries to increase the activity of women,
promotes the idea of strengthening the position of
women in society. He calls on women to work widely in
public administration, science, and professions, and
does not neglect their role in management. She
considers it appropriate to increase the activity of
women in the political process, to freely use their
rights, and to create conditions for their chosen
profession. Thanks to the immortal legacy of the poet,
who became the pride of the Islamic world, the
children of this country will enjoy priceless wealth.
Navoi’s goal was to live in this blessed land, raise the
status of women, and serve the people. In this regard,
Navoi clearly reflects the way of life and thinking,
spiritual and spiritual world of women in his poems and
ghazals, rubai and fard. In this Ruba’i, along with the
beauty of a woman, her manners and words are
reflecte:
Ko’z birla qoshing yaxshi, qabog ‘ing yax
shi,
Yuz birla so ‘zing yaxshi, dudog’ing yaxshi.

Eng birla menging yaxshi, saqog’ing yaxshi,
Bir-
bir ne deyin, boshdin ayog ‘ing yaxshi.
The poet also gives such thoughts in the hadith of good
women:
Yaxshi xotunlar safoyi zuhdidin
Olam ichra gar yoru
g ‘luq bo ‘lsa fosh.
Yo’q ajab, chukim arab alfozida,
Istiloh ichra muannasdur quyosh.
We are sure that increasing the activity of women
in social life embodies such a great idea. In the modern
age, her poetry serves the dignity of a woman and her
closeness to the spiritual and spiritual world. The poet
left a huge literary and scientific heritage in classical
poetry. Undoubtedly, the image of a woman in Navoi’s
poetry is present in all his works and divans. In it, noble
qualities such as a perfect person, social virtues, and
oriental manners are glorified in the image of women.
In the course of human development, no religion or
civilization has seen a woman who has paid as much
attention to women as Islam.
When talking about a woman in Islam, she is
described as the owner of a high status and high
respect. In Islam, a woman is a full-fledged person with
rights and duties. The use of the word woman in 35
surahs and more than 100 verses of the Holy Qur’an,
and one of the surahs are called “Nisa”, i.e. “Women”,
and the position of a woman, her role, and rights are
described in detail in it is a vivid example of attention.
In our holy religion of Islam, there are many orders and
prohibitions to do good to the mother. It is mentioned
in the hadith about women: The Messenger of Allah,
peace and blessings be upon him, said to one of the
Companions: “Take care of your mother, Paradise is
under her feet.” The level of a nation is determined by
the level of a woman of that nation, because people
cannot be higher than women. After all, the nation is
the product of a woman. The Uzbek saying:
“A mother
gives birth to both an Alpine and a scientist” is not in
vain. Mukhtasar Tojimatova, candidate of philological
sciences, “Give me the joy of mother's heart!” Or in the
article “The image of mothers in Nasoyim
- ul
mihabbat”, he says: “A number o
f historical and artistic
characters in Navoi’s work, including Alankuva, Zoli zar,
Halima ona, Bilqisi soni - Khadichabegim, have been
analyzed to a certain extent in Uzbek literary studies.
In the work, it is said that 35 female sheikhs are
mentioned in a separate section with their names and
surnames. Navoi writes that the level of respect and
approval of mothers is even higher than the level of
merit obtained through the act of Hajj, which is one of
the obligatory acts of Islam, and that the paths to
he
aven are connected with mother’s joy and mother’s
approval. We can witness that in the Islamic world, the
status of women is also considered. Ibn Asakir, who
lived in the 12th century, wrote that in the Islamic world
there were great opportunities for women to acquire

knowledge. He wrote that women could study, obtain
scientific degrees, and become scientists and teachers,
women in the Islamic world were inspired by Khadijah,
a successful businesswoman of the Prophet
Muhammad and was inspired by Aisha, a well-known
hadith scholar. Muhammad, peace be upon him,
“modesty did not prevent them from learning their
faith.” It is said that he praised the women of Medina
for their thirst for religious knowledge [6].
Although there were no legal restrictio
ns on women’s
education, some men, such as Muhammad ibn al-Hajj,
were displeased with the behavior of some women
during his lectures. In the 15th century, al-Shahawi
dedicated his entire twelve-volume biographical
dictionary to women scientists, the dictionary contains
information about 1075 of them. During the Islamic
Caliphate, women actively participated in economic
and social activities. Women worked in various
professions, in all branches of the national economy.
The role of women in the medical field was also great.
In this place, a poet who thoroughly mastered the
Islamic world like Navoi reveals the position of a
woman in his works. The 4 epics of Navoi’s work
“Khamsa” are about love, heroism and patriotism, and
the names of about 45 socially active women are
mentioned in them. They are the symbol of religious
women who have contributed to the development of
society, have their own status. Navoi praises the
contribution of women who are socially active in most
of the Muslim world to the development of society
through raising children, education level and acquiring
a profession. For example, in Navoi’s epic “Farhad and
Shirin”, the poet describes Shirin’s special concubines
Ten Dilarom and Mehinbanu as follows:
Bu majlis ichra hozir o ‘n dilorom,
Bori ham sarv qomat, ham gulandom.
Bo ‘lub Shirin bisotitining nadimi,
Alardin xush Mehinbonu harimi.
Kelib har qaysi bir fazl ichra mohir,
Mahorat shevasi har birda zohir.
While these girls gained their position in the social
life of that time with their knowledge of science and
intellectuals, Mehinbanu was a notable figure as a
leader and patron of science, and Navoi gave him such
an assessment gives:
Mehinbonuki donishparvar erdi,
Bilik ahliga shohi sarvar erdi [7]
Also, through the character of Dilorom in the epic
“Sabai Sayyor”, the activeness of the woman in art and

another vivid example of revealing the status of a
woman:
Dedi Mas’ud: “ Sozini chalsin,
Burqani olib, ultirib chalsin!”
Ulturub chunki burqa’ ochti hur,
Bo‘ldi el aqlu husnidan mahsur.
Chang tagida chun big‘on berdi,
Kimki o‘lturmish erdi –
jon berdi” [8]
Navoi proves in his works that the position of girls
who are socially active through the art of music, and
that they deserve respect among the people due to
their perfect mastery of this art. When Navoi praises
the girls who are good at playing music, we can witness
that the interest and attention of women to music was
very high in the time when he lived. Because in
“Khamsa” the girls skillfully play musical instruments
such as chang, oud, tanbur, flute, dutor, which shows
that they know this art.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it can be said that men’s various needs
and generations cannot be fulfilled without women.
Therefore, attracting women to social life and raising
their social status comes from the demand of men.
Knowing this as a reality of life, Navoi always prioritizes
the image of a woman and her social status in his
poetry. As a mature politician and statesman, Navoi,
raising the status of women in society, in many ways
serves him in the realization of humanitarian and
civilized ideas. However, although the attitude
towards women is not taken into account in modern
times, Navoi gives a special definition and classification
to women in his works and lyrics. He appreciates the
position of women in politics, commerce and society.
We cannot say that women’s position and equality
were not fully manifested in the works of predecessors
before Navoi. However, the image of a woman in
Navoi’s works can lead the state, that is, we can
witness that the position of women has been
strengthened in politics and economy. Navoi shows
that the goal of leading women is to end poverty, end
wars, and ensure social justice. A woman refers to a
person’s ability to rule the country, to be
knowledgeable and skilled, not to be indifferent to the
fate of society and children embodied in his works.
Because of this, colorful images of women were
created. These positive images can be divided into the
image of the mother, the image of the wife, the image
of wise and clever women, the image of warrior
women, and the image of enlightened women at the
level of the leader of the times. It raises their status in
socie
ty. In Navoi’s poetry, we can witness that women
are represented in various spheres of society’s life and
activities, including politics, law, education, science,
and the social status of our women has increased. With
this, we can see the unique aspects of Eastern gender

equality on the example of the poet’s poems and
ghazals. Honoring a woman, showing respect and
honor to her is one of the noble characteristics of the
Uzbek people. By the 21st century, as Navoi dreamed,
the place and status of women in Uzbekistan has
grown significantly. Women are doing many things of
national importance. In the political, socio-spiritual
environment of our country, the attitude towards
women and young girls deserves attention. All
conditions have been created in our country for
women and girls to become knowledgeable, good
specialists, qualified profession holders. Strong family,
mothers and children’s health are constantly being
paid attention to. The unique spirituality of the Uzbek
nation, the place of women in society, their activeness
in social life is of great importance, their status is high
in all respects. In order to build a legal state and a
democratic society, equality of women and men is
ensured in all spheres, legal rights and interests are
being protected. In the speech of the President of the
Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev at the 78th
session of the United Nations General Assembly, he
said: “Active participation of women in society and
state management is an urgent issue today. The
noblest goal at the center of our national policy is to
ensure the strength of families, legal protection and
peaceful life of our women.” Our Honorable Head of
State said: “Smart, beautiful women maintain the
balance, purity, honesty, sincerity and justice
atmosphere in the family and in the whole society with
their care, kindness, generosity of heart.” This is the
truth.
