This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the semantic features of words expressing human character and appearance in the work “Hayrat ul-abror” by the great thinker and poet Alisher Navoiy. Based on the literary text of the epic, the study explores the semantic layers of lexical units that describe a person’s inner spiritual world, moral qualities, behavior, and outward appearance, as well as their stylistic and aesthetic functions.In the course of the research, particular attention is paid to the polysemy of Navoi’s language, the degree of figurativeness, contextual expansion of meaning, and the role of these units in conveying moral and educational values. Furthermore, the system of positive and negative character traits, their artistic interpretation, and their impact on the reader are explained through relevant examples.
