Abstract

Makhdoom Quly Firaghi, brought a great revolution to 18th-century Turkmen literature. He crafted his poems with a language accessible to the general public, encapsulating their feelings and experiences. This approach earned him the love and respect of the entire Turkmen populace. His poems, rich in themes such as humanitarianism, patriotism, honesty, philanthropy, generosity, beauty, friendship, unity, and heroism, expressed the people’s desires and wishes in a simple language. A significant portion of Firaghi’s poetry also delves into religious-mystical subjects, addressing the core tenets of Islam and aiming to provide religious education to the people. This research aims to explore the impact of the poet's works on society. The poet's poems are diverse, offering valuable insights into different aspects of the community. As a result, this study seeks to illuminate how the poet's religious-mystical perspectives, social ideas, and concepts of patriotism and heroism influence society. There has been a lack of sufficient scientific studies on this topic to date. We believe that this research will provide an important and valuable resource for future scholars. This study utilizes the library research method and incorporates relevant scientific works from Afghanistan and other countries related to the subject. Consequently, Faraghi has become a significant figure within the Turkmen community. His poetry reflects the lives and living conditions of the Turkmen people. For this reason, the poet's writings have been widely accepted by the majority.
