Yusuf’s goodness of heart made him a King among his fellow prisoners. If any were ill, he tended them; if there was anything to their mind, he sympathised with them and consoled them. They had unbound faith in him, and they gladly took his teaching and profited by it. Two of them took their dreams to him and he interpreted them correctly. One of them was resorted to the King’s favour. When the King in his turn dreamed a dream, this man remembered Yusuf and obtained the interpretation of the King’s dream through him. Yusuf was released from prison, raised to high honour, and given full authority in the land. The old Wazir, Zulaikha’s husband, was dead and Yusuf was charged with the arrangements for meeting the great famine that was prognosticated. This part of the story is touched upon but lightly by the poet, as his theme is the love of Zulaikha. She a widow, bereft of youth, honour, beauty, resources, health, even eyesight, yet cherishes memory of Yusuf and waters it with her tears. He is now far above her in worldly station, as he always was above her in spiritual worth. Her humbled pride opens her spiritual eyes. She cries to him in her agony, and he listens. He knows the true from the false, and he is just. The woman, whom he repelled when she was in the bloom of health, youth, and beauty, when she was rich, proud and high in rank – now that she is meek, lowly, and sincere, finds favour in his sight. At his prayer her health, youth, and beauty are restored, and they are married in pure and true love. Even so, their love was not perfect until they united their hearts in pure worship to God. The core of allegory is in its definition of love – the true and the eternal as distinguished from the false and the ephemeral. Life is subject to many changes and so is what is ordinarily called LOVE among men. False love is only a toy for self-indulgence. Self, not the other, is the governing motive. Just as, in human affairs, there is true and false love, so in our inne and higher life, there is a divine love that transcends all human love. This is the contrast between “Ishq-e- Haqiqui and the Ishq-e-Majazi”
