The Pseudonym which Turned into the Art

This article is devoted to the problem of the relation between Navoi and his pseudonym “Navo”. For the great poet, pseudonym (taxallus) was not only a poetic name, but also was a special opportunity for the manifestation of his talent. As Babur said, Navoi was a poet who wrote “more and better than others.” “Hamsa”, especially “Hazoyin ul Maoniy”, includes hundreds of perfect couplets. Due to these couplets are a new type of the art that can be called navo (melody) and Navoi art. On the basis of this lies Navoi’s original point of view about high poetic symmetry. Navoi confirmed that every poetic work or a separate couplet must be created according to the rules of high symmetry; all poetic elements of the work must be related between poetic content both forms and meaning. The article considers the literary and Sufic meanings of Navoi, navo (melody), benavo, Navoe, through an analysis of a number of couplets from poet’s work.
