Irony in Poetry
Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture, 4 (6): 245-251 (June 2023)
Abstract
The article describes the works of the famous lyric poet and ghazal writer Atoi, a descendant of Yassavi. It is said that Atoi's poems were written primarily in the aruz “ramal bahr” (poetic breath counter) style, and that he also created visual aids and techniques such as orifon’s tajahuli, rhetoric, and publications. In his poems, he showed a subtle imagination, a keen eye and high taste. The fact that almost all the ghazals and rubais of Atoi contain irony and sarcasm shows that he deeply understood the power of the Uzbek word and put a lot of effort into showing his mercy. The same testifies to the extremely high level of artistic skill of the writer.
