The study examines the aesthetic and semantic functions of figurative devices such as metaphor, simile, symbolism, hyperbole, and personification in Babur’s prose and poetry. The analysis demonstrates that artistic expressive means in Babur’s works not only enhance the artistic quality of the text but also serve as essential tools for expressing the author’s inner emotions, historical realities, and philosophical reflections.
