ON SOME TEXTOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF “KHAMSA”, “LISON UT-TAYR”, AND “WAQFIYA”

Odiljon Rakhmatulloyevich Avaznazarov ,

Abstract

This article analyzes certain important issues in the textual studies of Alisher Navoi’s works, using examples from Khamsa, Lison ut-Tayr, and Waqfiya. First, the discrepancy between the total volume of Khamsa as stated in textbooks and the amount mentioned by Khondamir is discussed, with an argument made for the need for rigorous scholarly investigation of this difference. The article also reveals misinterpretations of some verses in various editions of the poem Lison ut-Tayr: for example, confusion between the "fifth" and "seventh" heavens in a verse related to the Mi‘raj-nama, and the semantic consequences of word differences such as “sharhi” and “shahri” or “bobuho” and “bobaho” in a verse about Hazrat Ali. Variants of an excerpt from Waqfiya found in different editions are compared, analyzing terminological (salavot – salot), phonetic-graphic (o‘ruz – o‘ttuz), syntactic-semantic (the completeness of a sentence about zakat), and legal-terminological (nasab – niṣab) differences. The article emphasizes the importance of improving textual scholarship on Navoi’s works, ensuring fidelity to the manuscripts, and finding a balance between critical editions and accessible forms suitable for contemporary readers.
