ABSTRACT 

Sheikh Nizami is a genius gifted by the people of Azerbaijan to the treasure of world culture, a talented poet, a wise philosopher, and a thinker scientist familiar with the secrets of world sciences. His rich artistic heritage has taken a special position in the history of world culture, mainly in the world of Near and Middle Eastern poetry, dedicated to legitimizing service to the noble man of the world and creation, in general promoting and appreciating humanism. The genius poet wrote and created in the Persian language according to the demand of the time, parti-cipated in the competition with the great wordsmiths of the Eastern world ‒ Firdovsi, Hafiz, and Sadi, and won this struggle. According to the unanimous opinion of re-searchers of Nizami heritage, Sheikh Nizami Ganjavi, with his eloquent and expressive creativity, enriched Middle Eastern poetry in a more lyrical direction, turning it into a colorful genre with subtle artistic poetic, emotional expressive meanings (Mir Jalal).
