Summary/Abstract: The nazira genre is very specific in diwan literature because it is a counterpart-song or poem parallel, written in the same meter and rhyme and addressing the same content as the poem on which it is modeled. The literature of Bosniaks in Oriental languages began its evolution within the Ottoman literary tradition, and the development of this genre within the context of what can be tentatively called “literature from the margins” is significant to studying the theory of interliterary processes.
