Abstract

Tazkiras hold an important place in Eastern literature as literary-artistic and historical-biographical sources. This article analyzes the classification of tazkiras and their historical development. In particular, it highlights the traditions of Turkic and Persian tazkira writing and their impact on the development of literature and scientific thought. Furthermore, the author emphasizes that tazkiras serve not only as sources of biographical information but also as works of significant moral-educational and artistic value. The formation of tazkiras, their genre characteristics, and the analysis of their most renowned examples are discussed, paying attention to how they evolved in response to the demands of their time. The article offers a new approach to the study of tazkiras, aiming to determine their genre-specific features and their role in the literary process. Alisher Navoi’s Nasāyim al-Muhabbat is analyzed artistically, focusing on the harmony of lyricism and didacticism within the work. While depicting the lives of sheikhs and saints, the lyrical spirit is enhanced through artistic imagery, and at the same time, didactic elements — moral exhortations — promote Sufi-educational ideas. The article scientifically analyzes the integration of literary devices such as metaphors, similes, symbolic imagery, and wise sayings with didactic content. As a result, the distinctive features of the work in terms of the combination of lyricism and didacticism are identified.
