یوسف و زلیخا / Yusuf and Zulaykha (Fifth Poem of Jami's Haft Awrang)

یوسف و زلیخا پنجمین مثنوی از هفت اورنگ جامی است.

Yusuf and Zulaykha is the fifth of the seven masnavi (mathnawi) poems that make up Jami's Haft Awrang. It retells the Quranic and Biblical story of the prophet Joseph and Zulaykha as a Sufi allegory in which earthly passion becomes a ladder toward divine Beauty and Love. The narrative unfolds across many numbered sections (بخش): Joseph's arrival in Egypt, Zulaykha's love, temptation, and trials, his imprisonment and vindication, his rise to power, and their eventual reunion and spiritual transformation. Each numbered بخش of this story is a section of this single work and belongs beneath it, rather than hanging directly under the whole Haft Awrang collection.
