Munadžat Ahmeda Gurbi-Babe Novopazarca
Monajat by Ahmed Gurbi-Baba of Novopazar

Summary/Abstract: Ahmed Gurbi-baba is one of our most important poets from the Ottoman period. He left behind three works, one of which has only recently been discovered, and it is his collection of monajat entitled Risâle-i Münâcât. This work consists of eleven longer poems in which the author addresses God, asking Him to grant him fulfillment on the spiritual path and coming to His closeness, thus expressing the basic aspirations and views of a spiritual traveler on the Sufi path. It should also be mentioned that Risâle-i Münâcât is the only separate work dedicated to the form of monajat in the history of Bosnian literature.
