Uzbekistan is widely celebrating the 583rd anniversary of Amir Nizamiddin Alisher Navoi’s birth.

The great Uzbek poet, thinker, and statesman was born in 1441 and died in 1501.

He mainly wrote in Turkish and partly in Persian.

The poet tried his pen in almost all genres of the Muslim East. In 1483-1485, he created the first Turkish “Khamsa”, which included the epics “Hayrat ul-Abror”, “Farhad and Shirin”, “Layli and Majnun”, “Sabayi Sayyor”, “Saddi Iskandari”.

Alisher Navoi’s works have been translated into various languages.
