THE SOCIAL AND SUFI CONCEPT IN THE WORKS OF ISMOILXON FAQIRIY
Abstract
This article examines the poetic interpretation of people’s suffering and the artistic representation of the idea of justice in the works of Ismoilkhon Faqiriy from the perspective of a socio-Sufi conception. The study analyzes the close interrelation between social themes and Sufi thought in the poet’s lyrics, focusing on the depiction of social injustice, oppression, poverty, and spiritual decline. It is argued that in Faqiriy’s poetry, people’s pain transcends individual emotion and becomes a generalized social phenomenon. Particular attention is paid to key notions such as faqr (spiritual poverty), patience, contentment, and justice, which the poet enriches with philosophical and mystical meanings and employs as instruments of artistic social critique.
