Form-centered reading is a trend which has existed among Muslim critics long ago and been reflected further as “Formalist” in modern era. Such type of view about a textinvestigates it as a linguistic innovation. From Formalists' point of view, a literary text contains a fundamental elementcalled text literature which a literate can achieve it through different mechanisms which itself gives linguistic and artistic prominences to the text. In this regard, researchers of present study aimed to have formalist reading of the introduction section of Bustan’s chapter three. The results showed that the literate used formalist mechanisms in the introduction in such a way that it has the highest influence on the reader and forces him to think about the text in detail. In fact, existing paradox and tension in this introduction is the same main artistic elementas that used implicitly by the poet.
