Poetic Conceptualization OF Sufi Terminology: ‘Ishq', ‘Fano', ‘Haqiqat', ‘Zuhd', ‘Haqq'

This article explores the poetic conceptualization of five pivotal Sufi terms: ‘Ishq', ‘Fano', ‘Haqiqat', ‘Zuhd', and ‘Haqq'. The study aims to identify their metaphorical and ontological load in classical Uzbek Sufi poetry and trace contextual variations in English translations. Applying discourse analysis and cultural translation theory, it highlights the semantic shifts and poetic transformations these terms undergo across languages. The findings are summarized in a comparative matrix, revealing the unique symbolic intensity and spiritual abstraction embedded in each term.
