"Yusuf and Zulaikha" refers to a medieval Islamic version of the story of the prophet Yusuf and Potiphar's wife which has been for centuries in the Muslim world, and is found in many languages such as Arabic, Persian, Bengali, Turkish and Urdu. Its most famous version was written in the Persian language by Jami , in his Haft Awrang. The story had by then many elaborations, including Sufi interpretation, where Zulaikha's longing for Yusuf represents the soul's quest for God.
