Description of Poetic Meters and Sizes in the Turkic Treatises on the Aruz During the Timurid Period

The article analyzes the problems of bakhrs (poetic meters) and vazns (sizes) presented in the Turkic treatises, which played a significant role in the formation and development of Aruz studies of the Temurid period, such as "Funun al-balaga" by Sheikh Ahmad Tarozi, "Mezon al-avzon" Alisher Navoi and “Aruz Risolasi” by Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur. It is argued that in "Funun al-balaga", which is considered the first Turkic treatise, the qualification and definition of bakhrs were implemented specifically in a special direction. The work theoretically analyzed 40 bakhrs, 20 of which were not included in the treatises created before Sheikh Ahmad Tarozi. These meters were created by the author himself. In his treatise "Mezon al-Avzon" Alisher Navoi analyzed 160 vazns associated with 19 bakhrs. In addition to those presented in Alisher Navoi's treatise, Babur discovered two more bakhrs and qualified them as “Ariz” and “Amik” bakhras in his treatise. Babur showed 21 meters and 537 vazns in the Treatise on Aruz. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that Aruz studies reached its peak during the Timurid period.
