یوسف و زلیخا / Yusuf o Zuleikha (Jami)

Yusuf o Zuleikha

Yusuf o Zuleikha is the fifth masnavi of Jami's Haft Awrang, a narrative poem in rhyming couplets that retells the Quranic and Biblical story of Joseph and Zuleikha's love for him. Composed in the hazaj meter, it unfolds across numbered sections (بخش) that trace Zuleikha's dreams of Joseph, her marriage to the Aziz of Egypt, her disillusionment, and the eventual transmutation of her earthly passion into divine love — a central allegory of Sufi mystical longing.

This node is the work-level container that groups the individual سخن/بخش sections of the poem and links them to the broader Haft Awrang collection.
