Kratka pjesma Mula Muhameda Mestvice na bosanskom jeziku
THE SHORT POEM OF MULLAH MUHAMED MESTVICA IN BOSNIAN

Summary/Abstract: The paper treats the transcription, linguistic expression and poetic basics of thus far unpublished poem in Bosnian by Mullah Muhamed Mestvica, who, in science, is more known by some of his writings in Turkish. This poem was found in Bosnian Arab manuscript in the Chronicle by Muhamed Enverija Kadić, who, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, copied and noted many various documents in Arabic and four languages: Arabic, Turkish, Persian and Bosnian. This poem is a monument in the body of texts of Bosnian Aljamiado literacy, its importance being more historiographic and cultural rather than literary-artistic. The title of the poem is suggested according to its introductory lyrics that read: “The spring of healthy water”
