This article provides a comparative analysis of the unique typological and poetic characteristics of the character of Bahram in the epic poems of Ashraf Maroghy Tabrizi and Alisher Navoiy within the context of the Eastern “Khamsa” tradition. The study thoroughly compares Maroghyʼs concept of the Sufi-inspired “gnostic and philosopher king” with Navoiyʼs portrayal of the famous ruler in “Sabʼai Sayyor”, who is initially “people-loving” but subsequently falls into oblivion. Using textual evidence from both epics, the authors’ similar and distinct artistic approaches are highlighted. Furthermore, the philosophical-artistic expression of justice and trust in God, alongside symbolic allegories like “kernel and rind” and “wrath and grace”, is profoundly investigated.
