Аrticle discloses the presence of Sufi images and motives in the latest poetry of Lacks. As the example the works of three authors have been analyzed: Ibraghim Chayatshinsky, Kosmina Israpilova and Suleiman Musaev. Thus, the “fana” founded in Ibraghim Chayatshinsky’s poetry means the presence of the Sufi theme there. “Fana” is a specific psycophysical state imitating death. And there’s a vast territory for fantasy: Life and Death, Good and Evil, the meaning of Existence, Moral Code, Purification, Repentance, Awakening, etc.
