ON THE TEXTOLOGY OF ONE MUKHAMMAS BY SADRIDDIN AINI WRITTEN TO BEDILS GAZEL
The author makes an endeavor to research certain problems beset with the textology of Bedil’s gazels; one mukhammas by S.Aini dwelling on a gazel by Bedil being taken as an example. When correlating different lists by Bedil’s “Divan” it was ascertained that due to a community of redif being present in several gazels by Abulmaoni a mixture of gazel and beyts took place entailing a rise of new variants of the gazels in question. The given textological feature of Bedil’s gazels is traced back to Aini ’s mukhammas patterns aimed at Bedil’s gazel. The inference is made that S.Aini created mukhammas for the beyts of not one, but two gazels belonging to Bedil written by one metre and having likeable redifs.
