significance from a textual criticism perspective. The study analyzes manuscripts preserved in the collections of Baku, Tbilisi, Paris, China,
and Eastern Turkestan, highlighting their distinctive textual characteristics and scholarly value. It argues that a comparative examination
of these sources provides a reliable foundation for reconstructing the authentic text and contributes to a deeper understanding of the
manuscript tradition of Navoi's literary heritage
