This article explores the representation of historical ruler-poets in Alisher Navoi's Majolis un-Nafois and Sahiy Bey’s Hasht Bihisht, the latter being one of the foundational biographical anthologies (tazkiras) of Ottoman Turkish literature. The study focuses on how these works praise rulers and reflect their noble character traits and devotion to poetry. It also compares the two tazkiras in terms of their unique features and differences. Furthermore, the article provides excerpts from the poetic legacy of ruler-creators, offering evaluative insights into their literary contributions.
