This article examines the artistic interpretation of implicitness and irony in the satirical works of Abdulla Qodiriy, a prominent representative of Uzbek literature. Qodiriy’s satire, deeply rooted in the socio-political realities of his time, reflects the contradictions of society through subtle hints, figurative expression, and veiled criticism. The study highlights how the writer skillfully uses implicit meaning to bypass censorship while addressing sensitive issues such as social inequality, bureaucracy, and moral decay. Irony, as a central stylistic device, not only enhances the aesthetic quality of his works but also sharpens the critical edge of his satire. By analyzing selected examples from Qodiriy’s writings, the article reveals how implicitness and irony function as powerful tools for social commentary and literary artistry, making his works relevant both in historical and modern contexts.
