Jami: Yusuf and Zulaikha

by Hakim Nuruddin Abdurrahman Jami, David Pendlebury (Editor)

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.

Shocking that this translation is out of print and there hasn’t been a reprint or a newer translation appear, afaik — a brilliant tale and Sufi classic that is easily readable in an afternoon or so
