Abstract
This preliminary study develops a source-traceable graph representation of spiritual progress in two Turkic Sufi works: Ahmad Yassavi's Dîvân-ι Hikmet and Alisher Navoiy's Lisonut-tayr. Thirteen passage units were purposively selected: five age-marked stanzas from Yassavi's Hikmet 6, Navoiy's Hudhud guide episode, and the seven valley descriptions. Six node types and seven directed relation types represent works, passages, embodied metaphors, stages, roles and spiritual functions while separating explicit evidence, functional alignment and interpretive function labels. The model contains 45 nodes, 84 edges and 12 cross-level metaphor-stage alignments: seven explicit and five functional, including Fire-Faqr-Fana. A deterministic Turtle export, a machine-readable JSON model and a standard-library Python validator reproduce 16 structural checks and five competency-question answers. The contribution is a small, auditable research-data model for future transparent browsing interfaces; it is not a complete ontology, an automated semantic classifier or a validated end-user system.
