Summary/Abstract: In this article we shall try to show possible reflections of ideas and philosophy of the great teacher of islamic mysticism, Ibn 'Arabi, in the poetry of Abdullah Salahuddin Ushshaki Bosniak. It should be noted that we do not want only to consider the potential influence of this great individual on the author, but also intertextual – in this case trans-semiotic relations between poetry, philosophy and sufi thought of Ibn 'Arabi. Uššaki’s poetry at the same time achieves more intertextual connections on several levels. We shall try to explore it’s subtext and discover possible traces of thoughts and ideas of the great islamic philosophy and islamic mysticism. As we believe that Ushshakis’ life and work is important for understanding his poetry, we will present it in brief.
