Summary/Abstract: Sa‘dī Shirazi has a prominent place and role on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina and his most famous work Gulistan has occupied for centuries a special place and reputation in the cultural tradition of Bosniaks. Sa‘dī’s significance in this region is primarily reflected in the appearance of a number of Bosniak poets and writers who wrote under the influence of Gulistan. A prominent place among them certainly belongs to Fevzi Mostari who wrote his work Bulbulistan modelled on the works of renowned Persian poets, in the first place on Sa‘dī’s Gulistan and Jāmī’s Baharestan. The focus of this paper is to observe Fevzi’s Bulbulistan in the context of intertextual dialogue with Sa‘dī’s Gulistan and to find out what are similarities and differences on the structural-content and language-style level between these two works. When it comes to types of transtextual relations established between Sa‘dī’s Gulistan and Fevzi’s Bulbulistan, three types of relation and these are: architextuality, autoreferentiality and intertextuality.
