In this era, poets continued to focus on the previous era's themes like love on Twelve Imams and hate on Muaviye and Yezidi. These themes have been used in poems. However, new themes are also frequently utilized sourced from the real events. In this study,themes of the Alevi-Bektashi literature's second era are collected upon the name "dominant theme" and divided into ten titles.
