Bayram Veli didn’t leave any written work during the political and fiscal not stable atmosphere.

His expression of human, the world and God in the poems sheds light to be aware of one’s own self. So despite the limited poems it is understood that he was not back of Ibn Arabi, Rumi and Yunus Emre in terms of the depth of mystical thought. He presented intense sufistic topics such as Vahdet-i vücud, love, dissolve, survival and heart by comparison with theme of the world.
