Development of The Modern Uzbek Women’s Literature in Afghanistan

Summary/Abstract: The history of Afghanistan and its social and cultural conditions were the basis for the continuation of the Chagatai literature of the classic and late periods. The Modern Uzbek Literature in Afghanistan develops the traditions of the Chagatai literature, because it still practices the classic quatrains in the style of ghazal and rubai in prosodic rhythm. In Afghanistan the Uzbek women's poetry uses motifs of Layla and Majnun, the imagination of a kerosene lamp, romantic candles, roses, and nightingales singing. This article studies the works of Shafeeka Yarkeen, Asifeh Shadab, Fereshteh Zeyai, who were the pioneers of the contemporary Uzbek women poetry in Afghanistan.
