Abstract:
This article examines the issue of creative mastery in interpreting female psychology in contemporary
Uzbek poetry through examples from the works of prominent poets Zebo Mirzo, Xosiyat Rustamova, and Guljamol
Asqarova. It specifically addresses the artistic and stylistic features unique to these creators' works, highlighting
issues of aesthetic ideals and creative individuality in crafting new poetic expressions. The characteristic features
of literature in the independence era are analyzed systematically through the poetry of the aforementioned poets.
Keywords:
Psychology, artistic expression, interpretation, creativity, mastery, style.
Introduction:
It is known that in contemporary Uzbek
poetry, human emotions, individual psychology, and
inner feelings are extensively explored. Recently
created literary and poetic works have particularly
drawn attention to the increasingly vivid portrayal of
women's psychological dimensions. In Uzbek poetry of
the independence era, stylistic individuality, thematic
originality, and artistic diversity are clearly reflected.
The characteristics of the new era are prominently
observed in the evolution of artistic thought.
Contemporary Uzbek poetry widely incorporates the
depiction of individual psychology. This tendency is
especially pronounced in the works of several active
female poets currently contributing prominently to the
literary scene.
METHOD
Genuine poetry is a pure manifestation of the spirit.
When a poet's soul unites deeply with their heart, this
unity creates fertile ground for beautiful poetry to
emerge. It would not be an exaggeration to state that
contemporary Uzbek poetry truly serves as a key to
unveiling the multifaceted dimensions of the human
heart. Indeed, it is clear that in current poetic creations,
authors skillfully embed profound reflections of human
psychology within their literary works. Numerous
poems vividly interpret personal psychology, inner
worlds, and emotional experiences.
When addressing human psychology, particular
attention must be devoted to portraying the subtle and
delicate nature of the feminine soul and spirit.
Observing contemporary Uzbek poetry, we distinctly
notice various trends such as blending diverse
approaches, integrating new principles, and producing
emotionally resonant works. Modern poets are
deliberately exploring these very tendencies within
their creations. This phenomenon is evident not only in
Uzbek literature but also in global literary traditions.
Today's readers seek not merely a reflection of social
life but rather the depiction of their own hearts and
inner selves in poetry. More explicitly, contemporary
individuals strive to discover their personal identity
—
their "I"
—
within literary works. This process, naturally,
reflects the identity of the creative personality as well.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Today's poets explore diverse themes in portraying the
subtle emotional upheavals of the human heart. This
phenomenon is clearly observed in the works of well-
known Uzbek poets Zebo Mirzo, Xosiyat Rustamova,
and Guljamol Asqarova, who uniquely approach the
subject of feminine psychology.
In the poetry of Zebo Mirzo, this exploration manifests
primarily through the interpretation of love. The poet
elevates the image of the loving woman to a central
position, intimately linking the female character to her

internal experiences and vividly portraying them.
According to Zebo Mirzo, "Life is always difficult for
people with a richly developed inner world. Such
individuals, even without external influence, inevitably
endure a constant battle between two opposing forces:
the spirit and the div. While the spirit urges a person
toward higher ideals, the div draws them down,
compelling them to satisfy worldly desires. People
experiencing such contradictions inevitably suffer from
creative anguish, feeling compelled to express celestial
emotions deemed incompatible with mundane life on
paper" [6: 306]. It is precisely these celestial emotions
that are reflected in Zebo Mirzo’s poetic works, where
the poet skillfully inscribes the voice of her spirit amid
the eternal struggle between div and soul.
“Ey mening umrimni barbod qilgan ishq,
Balki izingizdan xazondek o‘tdim.
Vujudga otashlar tutashgan chog‘da
Alanga lablarda jonimni tutdim”. [10: 70]
In the lines mentioned above, the poet directly appeals
to the divine emotion
—
love, delicately transferring the
subtle feelings experienced within a woman's heart
into the soul of the reader. Although in the initial verses
the poet portrays love
—
or rather, the beloved she feels
compelled to love
—
as a force capable of destroying her
life, she does not deny her readiness to burn eternally
within that very flame. “Og‘rinmang,
Sizni deb og‘rindim, sindim…
Yig‘ladim,
Ismingiz aytib yiqilsam…
To‘kilmasmikansiz…
Qo‘rqaman endi,
Oyoqlar ostiga bir-
bir to‘kilsam…
Ey meni
ng umrimni bunyod qilgan ishq!..” [10: 70]
Continuing her thoughts in the passage cited above, the
poet pours her inner experiences onto the page. In the
poem, the lyrical heroine's psychology is intricately
blended with the poet's personal identity. Clearly, a
woman's personality is profoundly complex and deeply
contradictory. When she loves, her passion is intense
and consuming; when she hates, her anger has the
power to ignite the world. While expressing the anguish
of love, the author highlights the compassionate nature
inherent in the female heart. Even as she suffers, she
wishes no harm upon her beloved. At the outset of the
poem, the attitude toward love is depicted as deeply
ambivalent “Ey mening umrimni barbod qilgan ishq ,” If
initially the poem conveys a sense of reproach or
resentment toward love, by the conclusion, it
ultimately
transforms
into
acceptance
and
reconciliation,
signifying
a
deep
emotional
surrender“Ey mening umrimni bunyod qilgan ishq!..” —
she concludes with a plea, expressing reverence toward
the feeling that transformed her into a true lover
—
indeed, a true poet. The central theme of Zebo Mirzo's
poetry is love. The poet elevates love to heavenly
heights and regards the suffering endured along this
path as sacred. She draws inspiration from this
powerful emotion and focuses precisely on love to
vividly depict feminine experiences. Deep exploration
of human psychology, the portrayal of inner
personality, and the artistic embodiment of the poet's
personal "self" stand out prominently in her poetic
works.
When discussing works that inspire people to think
differently, urging them to perceive the world from a
unique perspective, and portraying women's emotional
states in close harmony with nature and society, it is
essential to acknowledge the talent of poet Xosiyat
Rustamova. Her poetry demonstrates creative
individuality and intellectual clarity, giving charm and
enchantment to her verses. "Truth and genuine human
emotions affect everyone equally. Feelings have
neither nationality nor race; they are universally
experienced by all. Xosiyat Rustamova entered
literature like a lightning strike, and in her poetry, the
worldly and the divine merge seamlessly" [4: 51-52].
“Oyog‘imda turibmanmi –
tirikman,
Demak, mumkin Sen haqingda o‘ylashim…”
[8: 25]
In this couplet, the poet masterfully encapsulates
profound meaning within just a few lines. As long as a
woman lives, she can love and cherish thoughts of the
one she adores. For a genuine human being, there is no
happiness greater than this. Indeed, a woman
consistently draws strength from those to whom she
has given her heart.
“Ming yilki … ortimdan kuzatib mani –
Qo‘li mushtligicha qolmoqda g‘anim.
Azizim, baridan esda qolgani
–
Bu dunyoda Sizni ko‘rganim”. [9: 101]
In the lines above, the poet depicts the trials
encountered throughout her lifetime as relentless
adversaries pursuing her without respite. Yet, she
ultimately finds solace in recognizing that all worldly
sorrows and anxieties are transient. Reflecting upon
both joyful and painful moments experienced in life,
she admits, with sincere feminine sensitivity, that
meeting the person closest to her heart remains the
most memorable event in her existence. The poet
portrays pain exactly as she feels and understands it,
which notably allows her emotional reality to resonate

deeply and swiftly with readers.
The poetry of Guljamol Asqarova, a unique poetess
whose fresh poetic expressions have captured readers'
hearts, also extensively addresses female psychology.
In her works, women are depicted with courageous and
resilient characters. Particularly, in her poem dedicated
to the talented poetess Xosiyat Rustamova, the image
of the creative woman emerges clearly and powerfully.
“Hali uzoq yashasa bo‘lar,
To ko‘zimiz ishqdan intizor.
Bu dunyoda gullar bor hali,
Bu dunyoda kapalaklar bor”. [2: 160]
In these lines, the poet conveys that as long as there is
longing for love and beauty in this world, one can find
reason to continue living. Moreover, she illustrates that
the female heart's passion for beauty and love serves
as a primary factor binding creative individuals to the
world and inspiring them to embrace life.
“Hali u
-z-o-o-
oq yashaymiz do‘stim,
Toki ishqqa tashnadir yurak.
Omon bo‘lsa, shu aziz tuyg‘u,
Kapalakka aylansak kerak”. [2
: 160]
In the following stanza, the poet emphasizes that both
creative women will undoubtedly live long, as neither
is a stranger to the precious feeling of love. She weaves
into her verses the idea that as long as love exists in the
world, lovers will remain immortal. She poetically
suggests that female artists, enchanted by beauty,
might
someday
themselves
transform
into
butterflies
—
becoming part of that very beauty through
the grace of love.
As previously mentioned, Guljamol Asqarova vividly
illustrates female identity and psychology in her poetry,
skillfully painting them with vibrant emotional shades.
The subtle nuances of a woman's heart blend
seamlessly into her verses, highlighting the poet's
mastery in exploring feminine emotional depth.
CONCLUSION
The elevated depiction of human emotional
experiences
in
contemporary
Uzbek
poetry
significantly contributes to the advancement of
authentic literature. Works of this nature are highly
valued by poetry enthusiasts and individuals sensitive
to artistic beauty. True poetry ensures the perpetual
fragrance of creativity, as it is rooted deeply in human
emotions, hearts, and spirits. These elements
profoundly reflect its aesthetic quality as a refined art
form. Today, the common characteristics evident in the
works of the aforementioned poets converge
harmoniously in their portrayal of heart and soul.
Effectively expressing female psychology, enhancing
artistic allure, and authentically depicting genuine
emotions require considerable creative skill. The poetic
creations of talented Uzbek poets Zebo Mirzo, Xosiyat
Rustamova, and Guljamol Asqarova fully meet these
artistic criteria.
