This article explores the poetic legacy of Nodirabegim (Mohlaroyim), a prominent 19th-century Uzbek poetess, through the lens of Alisher Navoi’s literary traditions. By analyzing her ghazals, rubaiyat, and stylistic techniques, the study reveals how Navoi’s spiritual and aesthetic principles were preserved and reinterpreted in her work. As a female poet and cultural figure, Nodirabegim infused classical motifs with a distinct feminine perspective, contributing to the evolution of Uzbek literary heritage. The article also examines the continuity between classical and modern interpretations of poetic values.
