This article examines the linguopoetic features of artistic figurative devices used in Alisher Navoi’s epic poem “Lison ut-Tayr”. In particular, the semantic and functional features of metaphor, metonymy, simile, hyperbole, personification, symbol, allegory and antithesis are analyzed. The study demonstrates that the images of birds, Simurgh, the journey, love and the valleys in the poem represent the human aspiration toward spiritual perfection, liberation from worldly desires and comprehension of the Truth.
