Abstract

This article examines textual variants across editions of Abdulla Qodiriy's novel “Bygone Days”. Nafs, a philosophical-religious category, occupies a distinct place in the human sciences. The word nafs appears in earlier printings of the novel but was altered in later editions, with consequences for its lexical meaning. Drawing on textual examples, the article analyzes the semantic layers of nafs, its function in the novel, and its scope. Nafs is read here as a literary-aesthetic category within the work.
