The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the artistic and philosophical interpretation of the concept of “nafs” (soul/self) in Alisher Navoi’s dastan “Hayrat ul-abror”. Through the image of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) “nafs-i karim” in the second na’t and the nafs(soul/self) of a tyrannical ruler in the third maqola, the highest and lowest states of nafs(soul/self) are revealed. It is shown that Navoi interprets nafs not as a static condition, but as a force that can be elevated through education, purification, and divine guidance. The compositional role of nafs(soul/self), its poetic devices (metaphor, comparison, repetition), and philosophical significance are examined. The study emphasizes the connection between the theme of nafs(soul/self) in Navoi’s work and personal moral upbringing as well as social justice.
