The work of AlisherNavoi "Lisonut-Tair" ("The Language of Birds") is one of the most complex epics written by the thinker at the age of sixty. The topic raised in the work - the achievement of perfection by a person - is considered a philosophical work, designed to fight for their desires at all costs and calling for this. In the play, several different birds go on a journey through the seven valleys (demand, love, enlightenment, truth, religion, admiration, poverty-wealth) north of Simurg. Spending their lives in search of God, they go through seven stages of comprehension and realize that they themselves are Simurghs. In the epic, the love story of Sheikh Sanan is especially vividly expressed. When Sheikh Sana Tarso is having fun on stage, refuses the Kaaba, burns the Koran and lights a fire in the temple of fire worshipers, he sees God in the face of his beloved. Burning out of love for her, he thinks that he is burning out of love for God.
