In Uzbek classical literature, there exists such a beautiful form of poetic art that it serves as the most perfect aid in revealing the author's intended purpose, intention, and even what they are trying to convey. For a writer, providing proof and evidence becomes unnecessary — this poetic art is called talmeh. Every image taken for talmeh aims to fully showcase the personality traits, characteristics, and admirable qualities of the poet's hero before the reader’s eyes.
Atoulloh Husayniy defines talmeh art as follows: “Talmeh is a reference to a famous story, a rare poem, or a well-known saying in speech” [9, 133]. As evidence for his opinion, he refers to the story of Yusuf (by mentioning Ya’qub’s name), Hafiz’s ghazal, and three couplets that allude to a famous saying. In Qomusiy lexicon, it is stated that “The art of Talmih allows the creator to express an idea in detail through a hint or reference” [1, 15].
