This article examines the poetic interpretation of the image of the sun in modern Uzbek and German poetry through comparative artistic and philosophical analysis. Since ancient times, the sun has been seen in human thought as a symbol of life, light, hope and divine power. This particular image is subject to interpretation within each respective national literature, as it is influenced by a variety of cultural, aesthetic, and spiritualphilosophical criteria unique to each society. In Uzbek poetry, the sun is portrayed as a source of life, symbol of spiritual awakening, social values and national identity. In German poetry, it appears more as an artistic reflection of philosophical fear, doubt, spiritual conflict and inner experiences. The article analyzes the poetic function, symbolic aspects, and artistic-aesthetic role of the sunʼs image in the works of poets, such as Sirojiddin Sayyid, Iqbol Mirzo, Khosiyat Rustamova, Zebo Mirzo, as well as Jan Wagner, Anja Kampmann, and Monika Rink.
