This article offers a comprehensive analysis of the role of folklore—especially proverbs and sayings—in the poetry of the renowned Uzbek poet Omon Matjon, examining their impact on poetic structure and imagery. The poet seamlessly weaves folk proverbs into his verses, transforming them into vehicles of aesthetic and philosophical meaning. At times, Omon Matjon revises established proverbs, infusing them with contemporary content and spirit; in other cases, he forges new sayings from a poet’s perspective. This reveals his distinctive creative style and his artistically reflective engagement with oral folk tradition.
