Summary/Abstract: This work is an attempt of a different approach to studying sufi literature of Bosniaks in Persian language, by focusing primarily on the texts with sufi contents, and not on the positivistic attitude towards the authors and their work. The first part of this work presents a select number of works in Persian language written as prose, with special accent on the works of Fevzi Mostarac, Bulbulistan, and a treatise by Sheikh Abdullah Bosniak, as well as the philological and sufi comments of the Bosniak authors. The second chapter is dedicated to the poetic works of Sufi poets from Bosnia writing in Persian, and the focus of our attention in this chapterare the reflections of the Sufi learnings in the Bosniak poetry in Persian within the context of the influence of Ibn Arabi’s learning, and we also mentioned a few important remarks on the theory of shahid. In the third chapter we observe literary tradition as a reservoir of motives, especially in the light of intertextual and hypertextual studies, and we also write about the professional terminology, figures and tropes that can be found in the Bosniak writings in Persian language.
