یوسف و زلیخا / Yusuf va Zulaykha (masnavi of Jami's Haft Awrang)

یوسف و زلیخا (Yusuf va Zulaykha) is one of the seven narrative masnavi poems that together make up Jami's Haft Awrang (Seven Thrones). It retells the story of the prophet Joseph (Yusuf) and Zulaykha as a Sufi allegory of the human soul's longing for divine beauty. Like Jami's other masnavis in the collection, it opens with a series of doxological and prophetic-praise sections (بخش) — invoking the name of God and praising creation — before the narrative proper begins. This node serves as the work-level container that groups the individual بخش sections (such as Section 1 - Beginning and Section 2 - the opening invocation) so they sit under their own poem rather than directly under the whole Haft Awrang collection.
