Samandar Vokhidov's Artistic Skills in Ghazal
Abstract
The article presents reflections on the importance of poems written in the aruz meter in studying the components of classical poetics. It explores the poetic mastery of the poet Samandar Vohidov in the art of ghazal writing, and illustrates the thematic richness of his aruz-based poems through examples. In contrast to his poems written in the syllabic (barmoq) meter, the article substantiates the distinct features of his aruz poems with samples from his ghazals and musammats. The artistic analysis also highlights how the poet, while preserving the classical traditions of his predecessors, created aruz-based ghazals inspired by the works of prominent poets such as Erkin Vohidov, Abdulla Oripov, and Jamol Kamol.
