In classical literature, mystical numbers were used to enhance the aesthetic impact of literary works and to express the beliefs and values of the people, reflecting the beauty of artistic imagery. In particular, numbers such as 3, 7, 9, 18, and 40 have played an important role in literary works.

The number 7 is revered as a divine and mysterious number among the world's peoples. Consequently, various beliefs have formed around the number 7: 7 days, 7 wonders, 7 treasures, 7 generations, 7 climates, 7 colors, 7 planets, 7 seas, 7 obligations, and more. The days of the week are: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The seven colors are: white, yellow, red, black, blue, green, and orange. Regarding the seven planets: ancient peoples believed that the seven sacred planets were connected to human life, destiny, and interactions. They are: the Sun - symbol of strength and energy; the Moon - symbol of charm; Mars - symbol of struggle; Mercury - symbol of wisdom; Jupiter - symbol of happiness; Venus - symbol of love; Saturn - symbol of agriculture. In classical literature, beautiful artistic imagery is created using mystical numbers to enhance the aesthetic impact of literary works and express people's beliefs and values. In particular, views related to the numbers 3, 7, 9, 18, and 40 have held great importance in works of art. Among these, the number 7 is interpreted as a divine number. This article examines the number 7 through an analysis of the seven planets' imagery. Navoi's cosmogonic views are illuminated through the example of the epic “Sab'ai Sayyar”." The epic contains numerous artistic images related to the universe and its creation, planetary movements, day and night, the four elements, Earth's rotation, and the Sun and Moon. To create such artistic images, the author must possess astronomical knowledge and a scientific worldview. To this end, the article substantiates that Navoi's cosmic worldview played a crucial role in the development of his artistic thinking.
