Abstract
Kul Gali’s work “Kyissa-i Yusuf” is a poem written in the Turkic literary language in the 13th century. It has been loved by the Tatar people for many centuries, rewritten many times by hand and first printed in the 19th century. In the regions, where the Tatars live, more than 300 handwritten copies of the work have been found. The plot of the poem goes back to the story about good looking Yusuf. It is found in the sacred books of most orthodox religions, but differs significantly in details and descriptions of the characters. One of these characters is Zuleikha. This article discusses the artistic means of expression, chosen by the author, to create the image and speech portrait of Zuleikha and reveal the features of her character.
