SELF-PRAISE (FAKHR) IN THE POETRY OF SAYYID QOSIM

Abstract

The article explores the artistic features of fakhr passages found in the introduction and conclusion sections of the didactic epics “Majma ul-Akhbar”, “Gulshani Roz” and “Haqiqatnoma” by the Turkic poet Sayyid Qosim. The literary devices used in these couplets are analyzed based on scholarly examination. The study also investigates the role and function of fakhr in the poet’s creative work.
