LONGING FOR THE HOMELAND IN BABUR’S RUBAIYAT

Аннотация

This article explores the theme of homeland longing in the rubaiyat (quatrains) of Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur, a prominent statesman, poet, and founder of the Babur dynasty. Babur's rubaiyat not only reflect his personal emotions and inner world but also serve as poetic testimonies of exile, displacement, and deep affection for his native land—Andijan. Through literary and historical analysis, the study reveals how Babur’s poetic voice conveys sorrow, nostalgia, and philosophical reflection on the loss of one’s roots and the enduring connection to homeland.
