Summary/Abstract: Akbarian thought, and Sufi thought in general, is a sophisticated dimension of Islam which, on the one hand, prevents dogmatic formalism and selfcomplacent ritualism, and, on the other hand, does not close the doors of the spirituality of the humankind and gives it freedom in relation to the living sense of religion and creativity of living. Sufi poets think about the human nature and the Reality through horizons of spirituality and love that is immediately connected to their own personal beliefs about God, universe and human soul. This unbroken continuity of thoughts, that is the true and useful knowledge is offering a glimpse into the reality of the final Reality, which lies under the surface of the visible world. This type of knowledge stems from the revelation by which Ibn Arabi and all those before and after (who followed this type of knowledge and realization) opened doors of universe and the human soul. Therefore every verse of the Sufi poet is always relevant, since they call for search for knowledge on the real things, and not on the illusory ones taking our attention in the modern times. In this connection, this research aims to mark the reflections of Akbarian thoughts in poetry by Salahi – erudite, mutasawwif and poet.
