Abstract

More than ten na’t (glorification) ghazals are incorporated into each divan of “Khazoyin ul-maoni”, adhering to certain standards of Eastern divan tradition. Around fifty ghazals of this category can be found in the complete works. The dictionary definition of na’t is an adjective, and as a literary term, it denotes a work in praise of Rasulullah or specific chapters of a large work, as well as poems of specific genres in divans.This article explores the ghazals of the na’t series dedicated to the praise of Muhammad p.b.u.h. (Peace be upon him). Firstly, the ghazals extolling him, followed by the ghazals penned down based on the event of Miraj are examined. The analysis concentrates on the Prophet's impeccable conduct, crucial aspects pertaining to his prophetic endeavours, and the artistic depiction of the Miraj event. The author provides analyses rooted in artistic criteria. This series illustrates the role and significance of imagery in ghazals, and the expression of the theme through poetic figures. Owing to the constancy of the mystical content in Navai's ghazals, particularly in these ghazals of na’t, the article has specifically investigated the harmony between mystical symbols and poetic figures.
