Zulaykha pulls Yusuf's coat as he leaves, from Rosary of the Pious (Subḥat al-abrār), by Jāmī.
Composed in 1481, Jami's poem contained 40 sections or "knots" (`aqd), each dedicated to a Sufi principle, with a narrative episode to illustrate the point. Here, the Qur'anic prophet Yusuf (Joseph in the Old Testament) rushes away from his employer's wife Zulaykha (Potiphar's wife), resisting her attempts to seduce him. A golden idol sits in the alcove behind them, half-concealed by a curtain: Zulaykha had gone to draw the curtain over her sacred idol, so it could not watch them. Reflecting that his own God could see all things, Yusuf left the room hastily.
