This article explores the role of hidden meanings in the satirical style of Abdulla Qodiriy, a seminal figure in modern Uzbek literature. Qodiriy’s satire often conveys critique indirectly, employing implicit expression, irony, allegory, and symbolic representation to address social, political, and moral issues. The study examines how these hidden meanings function as both artistic devices and instruments of social commentary, allowing the author to circumvent censorship while engaging readers in interpretive analysis. By analyzing selected texts, the research demonstrates that the uncovering of hidden meanings deepens the reader’s understanding of Qodiriy’s literary techniques and highlights the sophistication of his narrative strategies. Furthermore, the paper situates Qodiriy’s methods within broader literary traditions, comparing his use of implicit critique with global examples of satirical literature, thus emphasizing the universal relevance of his approach.
