This article examines the interpretation of the color black as a literary-aesthetic image in Rauf Parfi’s poetry. It discusses how the poet’s lyrical persona conveys spiritual experiences, natural landscapes, and socio-philosophical meanings through the symbolic use of black. The study explains the use of color symbols – particularly black – in epithet and metaphorical dimensions in the poet’s works, as well as their connection with the fate of Turkestan, the sufferings of the nation, and the human inner world. The research scientifically reveals that the poetic depiction of the color black is closely related to the poet’s aesthetic views, artistic worldview, and social stance.
