Yusuf and Zulaikha

A romantic tale that, as sheer gripping entertainment, bears comparison with the finest in any age or country. Described in the Qur'an as "the most beautiful of stories," the romance of Yusuf and Zulaikha is a theme to which Eastern poets have constantly returned. Undoubtedly in Jami's deeply moving and thought-provoking version it finds its finest expression.
