Abstract

This article examines the issue of translating simple folklorisms found in the work "Masnaviy Ma'navi" by Jalaluddin Rumi - poetic units based on proverbs, phrases, praise, and curses. The Uzbek (Jamal Kamal) and English (R.A. Nicholson) translations of the work are comparatively analyzed, and the preservation or loss of originally existing folklorisms in translation, or the creation of new folklorisms by the translator, are scientifically examined.

Based on examples, it is shown that Jamol Kamol used modulation, finding equivalents and creative translation methods, while R.A. Nicholson mainly resorted to the method of literal translation (kalkalash). The article reveals the degree to which the poet reflects the universal teachings conveyed through folklorisms in two translations and deeply interprets the poetic function of simple folklorisms.
