Although more than 800 years separate us from the time in which Nizami Ganjavi lived and composed his works, the themes he addressed regarding his national identity remain as bright as the sun and as clear as the sky even today. In his immortal Khamsa, regardless of who attempted to intervene in different periods, the verses – born of his sleepless nights – did not and will not allow the distortion of his nationality, homeland, or worldview. This is because Nizami Ganjavi’s works, with their universal reflections that transcend religious and political boundaries, are in fact the voice of the Azerbaijani Turkic people and of Ganja, the city that was his homeland and cultural space. Although Nizami Ganjavi began his literary career with lyrical poems, he became renowned in Azerbaijani, Eastern, and Western literature as a master of the mathnawi form. His status as a great master of mathnawi poetry can be observed both in the meanings contained in his works and in the recognition by his successors. The Treasury of Mysteries opened a new chapter in Eastern literature. Although religiousphilosophical themes occupy a significant place in this work, several of the core humanist ideas that he would later elaborate in his subsequent epics are introduced here for the first time.
