Though Mukhammad Ikbol's mother tongue was Urdu he chose the language of Rumi and Hafiz - that of Persian-Tajik for transposition of his thoughts and ideas. Ikbol not only used Tajik-Persian for reproduction of his profound philosophical meditations, but he made a weighty contribution into the development of his language either, especially in word-building. The notions "word" (sukhan) and "speech" (zabon) occupy a special place in Ikbol's poetic language. It is underscored that the poet actively uses the word-building potential of the units in question for a creation of new compound words. The author adduces and classifies rich factological material from the poet's creation testifying to his mastership in coining metaphorical word-combinations with the lexemes "sukhan" and "zabon". The author analyzes the role of the pointed words in a creation of unusually fine similes.
