Artistic devices serve as a school of aesthetic perception for readers and as a source of mastery for aspiring poets. A reader familiar with poetic arts derives profound aesthetic and emotional pleasure from literature, while poets develop into highly skilled masters of expression. This article examines selected artistic devices employed by the great encyclopedic poet Alisher Navoi in his ghazals, rubāʿīs, the epic poem Lison ut-Tayr, and the prose work Tarixi anbiyo va hukamo. The study focuses on such rhetorical devices as metaphor (isti‘āra), simile (tashbīh), allusion (talmeh), irsāl al-mathal (proverbial exemplification), hyperbole (mubolag‘a), and letter-based artistic techniques. The research also highlights their significance for textual criticism and manuscript studies.
