This article analyzes, on a scientific and theoretical basis, the system of characters in the work “Bulbulnoma” by Farididdin Attar, one of the prominent representatives of Sufi literature. In the course of the research, the artistic-aesthetic and mystical (Sufi) essence of the characters such as the Nightingale (Bulbul), the Rose (Gul), and the Breeze (Sabo) is deeply revealed, and their symbolic meanings in classical Eastern literature are widely explained.
In the article, the image of the Nightingale is interpreted as a symbol of a spiritual seeker (salik) who burns with divine love and strives for perfection through patience and ascetic discipline. It is substantiated that through this image, the processes of inner suffering, aspiration, and spiritual purification of the human soul are artistically expressed.
The image of the Rose, in turn, is interpreted as a symbol of beauty, perfection, and divine manifestation, and it is scientifically analyzed that it serves as the main goal and destination in the Nightingale’s journey of love.
