R. Sharipova
Abstract: In modern Uzbek poetry, the interpretation of natural symbols
such as wind, rain, snow and clouds has a special place. These emblems are
a figurative means of revealing the human psyche, emotional experiences.
The article reveals the symbolic meanings of wind, rain and clouds in Rauf
Parfi's work in accordance with the interpretation of spring, autumn and
winter.
Keywords: motif image, wind, cloud, rain, diagnosis, lyrical hero, symbol,
psyche.
Rauf Parfi is one of the brightest representatives of modern Uzbek
poetry. His symbolic way of thinking, his metaphors, and his deeply
philosophical poems are a shining page in Uzbek literature. It is especially
important that the poet's poems reflect the human psyche, the feelings of the
soul in harmony with nature. Commenting on the image, the literary critic
D.Kuronov gives several new classifications: ”[1, 49]. In this sense, the
symbols of nature, such as wind, clouds, and rain, were able to rise to the
level of motifs in the poet's poetry. Because these images were often
repeated in the poet's poetry and served to express new meanings.
In this context, we try to analyze the poet's poems about the wind:
Whisper to me, O wind,
Just don’t run past my heart.
Whisper to me, O wind,
Do not tear off the leaves.
Whisper to me, O wind,
Where are you taking me again?
Whisper to me, O wind,
The Black Tale of the Past [2, 80].
It should be noted that the wind came in poetry as a link between
yesterday and today. In diagnosing the wind, the poet describes it in terms
of its functions in nature. It is known that when the wind blows, the leaves
fall to the ground. There is a diagnosis in this as well. That is, "breaking a
leaf" means that it is blowing hard. Furthermore, in the next paragraph, the
philosophy of life becomes even stronger. When the lyrical protagonist says
to the wind, "Where are you going again?", He is referring to a person's
passing life. At the same time, the wind reminds the poet of yesterday. The
pleasant blowing of the wind is revived by the "whispering" action of man.

I have no rest, no sleep in it.
He can't write his pain,
Joy is also immeAndijan State University named after Z.M.Boburrable
[2,54].
In this case, the wind is compared to the wolf's hunt in accordance with
the winter storm, and on this basis it is humanized. This is because it can be
observed in situations such as not being able to rest, not sleeping, not being
able to write about the pain. That is, the harmony of the wind and the human
psyche is understood.
The wind, combing my hair,
Let it flow with pain.
Fate, don't be surprised.
After all, you did not separate from anger [2, 200].
In the above lines, the blowing of the wind is given by another condition
- by combing the hair. The philosophical content is much deeper. The poet
sees gray hair in pain. In fact, gray hair is a sign of increasing life expectancy.
The wind blows on the leaves
The wind plays in the water.
What a cool wind
What is the dream in your heart? [2, 57]
In the above lines, the image of the wind corresponds to the spring
season. In other words, the wind blows in the spring. Therefore, the poet
gives his breath through the verb "play", in which there is a connection
between the beauty of nature and the psyche of the lyrical hero.
He knocks on the window,
He knocks on my door.
Restless, restless sleep,
He wakes me up.
The wind blows in my hair,
The wind blew into my eyes,
Happy to sing, tell tales,
Then back to the tracks [2, 57].
Indeed, it created the image of a pleasant breeze. Wind swelling is re-
diagnosed. That is, "knocking on the window" and "knocking on the door"
are human. Or its restlessness is in harmony with the human condition.
Through these images, the poet vividly expresses the nature of the spring
wind, the virtue of pleasing the heart.
Goodbye, wind, goodbye, wind,
Come on in, take a look
Get me a song,
Olgin is another legend [2, 57].

There is a melody and melody in the wind. That's why the softness of
the spring wind and the aroma of the song are like a song. This is the vital
meaning of the poet's spring breeze.
Youth blue season. It's late. Sargʼardi.
It spilled. Mercy is a leaf that does not know.
Black shot into the cold.
The wind is breaking at the bottom.
Youth blue season. It's late. Sargʼardi [2, 133]
The blue season of youth is compared to spring. In classical poetry,
human life is interpreted in terms of seasons. R. Parfi continued this
tradition. The image of the wind is depicted side by side with the autumn.
There are two meanings in the line "The wind is breaking at the foot". 1.
Falling tree leaves in autumn. The poet's diagnosis is extremely difficult. The
fact that the leaves lie on the ground depends on the wind, which breaks
them. 2. The image of human life. The blue season gives way to youth and
autumn to old age. So, it also reflects human life through the image of the
wind in the fall.
In the poet's poetry, the symbols of wind and rain, wind and cloud are
depicted in harmony. This feature is especially noticeable in poems on
spring:
Outside winds,
It's raining hard tonight.
Outside winds,
The window washes their faces [2, 75].
In nature, wind and rain often occur together. in which the depiction of
this state of nature takes precedence. However, this image reflects the
feelings of the lyrical hero, the scenes of his psyche. This is because the
sound of the rain is accompanied by the rustling of the wind.
In poetry, the rain is a symbol of purity that cleanses the environment
and washes the heart. It is known that the wind also drives the rain. In this
sense, Rauf Parfi's poem "The window washes his face" is a unique artistic
discovery. The reason is that the poet expresses the fact that the rain hits the
window with the help of the wind through another diagnosis (washing -
human).
The night is near, the trees are weak,
One day we hurried out of here,
It smells of rain, the wind blows,
I'll go alone, without you, lost [2, 161]
In this love poem, the lyrical protagonist's mood changes like rain and
wind. It is known that after the rain, a pleasant aroma spreads from the
ground. This is the smell of the lyrical protagonist, who is experiencing
mental anguish. In the poem, the verb "to tremble" is used in reference to

the wind. This is also the condition of man. In other words, the tremors of
the wind and the lyrical protagonist's unrelenting wanderings created a
parallel. The roaring wind represents the image of a helpless lover.
Where are you flying, where are the clouds,
Where is your love today?
O wind, where will you be thrown?
Where do you know, what kind of place?
Gathered on the river that day
It is well-intentioned that you are a cloud.
Why did you touch the wind, why,
Why did you become a slave, the clouds again? [2, 108]
The cloud moves in the sky. This situation is given by "flying". The poet
also described the rain falling from the clouds. That is, the rain represented
the image of love. And the wind "throws" the cloud everywhere. In this case,
the wind expresses transient feelings, and the cloud reflects eternal feelings.
Rauf Parfi's poems, which we have analyzed, are distinguished by their
life-philosophical content and deep meanings. It should be noted that the
images of wind, wind-rain, wind-cloud in the poet's poems have symbolic
meanings. As a lover of nature, the poet feels the landscapes of the human
heart in connection with it. In particular, this can be observed in wind
interpretation. The wind, first of all, has different meanings according to the
seasons of nature. Consequently, the softness of the spring wind, the unique
aroma, the playfulness are expressed as a means of lifting the mood and
mood of the lyrical hero. Expressions related to the blowing of the wind:
"hunting" in winter, "playing" in spring, "slaughtering", "whispering",
"roaring" in autumn, show that this image is in harmony with the psyche of
the lyrical hero and has a connection with human life. In general, the wind is
the motif in Rauf Parfi's poetry. Because the poet repeats in his work and
expresses various symbolic meanings. On this basis, it can be said that the
philosophical life content of the poet's poetry is clearly expressed in the
symbols of nature.
