وَدَخَلَ مَعَہُ السِّجْنَ فَتَيٰنِ۝۰ۭ قَالَ اَحَدُہُمَاۗ اِنِّىْۗ اَرٰىنِيْۗ اَعْصِرُ خَمْرًا۝۰ۚ وَقَالَ الْاٰخَرُ اِنِّىْۗ اَرٰىنِيْۗ اَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَاْسِيْ خُبْزًا تَاْكُلُ الطَّيْرُ مِنْہُ۝۰ۭ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَاْوِيْـلِہٖ۝۰ۚ اِنَّا نَرٰىكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِـنِيْنَ۝۳۶
Wadakhala maAAahu alssijna fatayani qala ahaduhuma innee aranee aAAsiru khamran waqala alakharu innee aranee ahmilu fawqa rasee khubzan takulu alttayru minhu nabbina bitaweelihi inna naraka mina almuhsineena

Ahmed Ali

Two other youths were imprisoned along with him. Said one of them: "I dreamt that I was pressing grapes;" and the other: "I dreamt that I was carrying bread on my head, and the birds were pecking at it. You tell us the meaning of this. You seem to be a righteous man."

36

قَالَ لَا يَاْتِيْكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقٰنِہٖۗ اِلَّا نَبَّاْتُكُمَا بِتَاْوِيْـلِہٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ يَّاْتِيَكُمَا۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِيْ رَبِّيْ۝۰ۭ اِنِّىْ تَرَكْتُ مِلَّۃَ قَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللہِ وَہُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَۃِ ہُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ۝۳۷
Qala la yateekuma taAAamun turzaqanihi illa nabbatukuma bitaweelihi qabla an yatiyakuma thalikuma mimma AAallamanee rabbee innee taraktu millata qawmin la yuminoona biAllahi wahum bialakhirati hum kafiroona

English

Ahmed Ali

(Joseph) answered: "I will give you its interpretation before the food you are served arrives. This knowledge is one of the things my Lord has taught me. I have given up the religion of those who do not believe in God and deny the life to come.

37

وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّۃَ اٰبَاۗءِيْۗ اِبْرٰہِيْمَ وَاِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَ۝۰ۭ مَا كَانَ لَنَاۗ اَنْ نُّشْرِكَ بِاللہِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللہِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَي النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُوْنَ۝۳۸
WaittabaAAtu millata abaee ibraheema waishaqa wayaAAqooba ma kana lana an nushrika biAllahi min shayin thalika min fadli Allahi AAalayna waAAala alnnasi walakinna akthara alnnasi la yashkuroona

English

Ahmed Ali

I follow the faith of my fathers, of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. We cannot associate anyone with God. This is among God's favours to us and to all mankind; but most men are not grateful.

38

يٰصَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ ءَ اَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُوْنَ خَيْرٌ اَمِ اللہُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَہَّارُ۝۳۹ۭ
Ya sahibayi alssijni aarbabun mutafarriqoona khayrun ami Allahu alwahidu alqahharu

English

Ahmed Ali

(Tell me) O fellow-prisoners, are a number of gods better, or one God omnipotent?

39

مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِہٖۗ اِلَّاۗ اَسْمَاۗءً سَمَّيْتُمُوْہَاۗ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَاۗؤُكُمْ مَّاۗ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ بِہَا مِنْ سُلْطٰنٍ۝۰ۭ اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلہِ۝۰ۭ اَمَرَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۗا اِلَّاۗ اِيَّاہُ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ الدِّيْنُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۴۰
Ma taAAbudoona min doonihi illa asmaan sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin ini alhukmu illa lillahi amara alla taAAbudoo illa iyyahu thalika alddeenu alqayyimu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

(What) you worship besides Him are nothing but names that you and your fathers have assigned, for which no sanction has been sent down by God. Authority belongs to God alone. He commands that you worship none but Him. This is the right way; but most men are ignorant.

40

يٰصَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ اَمَّاۗ اَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسْقِيْ رَبَّہٗ خَمْرًا۝۰ۚ وَاَمَّا الْاٰخَرُ فَيُصْلَبُ فَتَاْكُلُ الطَّيْرُ مِنْ رَّاْسِہٖ۝۰ۭ قُضِيَ الْاَمْرُ الَّذِيْ فِيْہِ تَسْتَفْتِيٰنِ۝۴۱ۭ
Ya sahibayi alssijni amma ahadukuma fayasqee rabbahu khamran waamma alakharu fayuslabu fatakulu alttayru min rasihi qudiya alamru allathee feehi tastaftiyani

English

Ahmed Ali

O fellow-prisoners, one of you will serve wine to your master, the other will be crucified and the birds will peck at his brain. Determined is the matter of your inquiry."

41

وَقَالَ لِلَّذِيْ ظَنَّ اَنَّہٗ نَاجٍ مِّنْہُمَا اذْكُرْنِيْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ۝۰ۡفَاَنْسٰىہُ الشَّيْطٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّہٖ فَلَبِثَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِيْنَ۝۴۲ۧ
Waqala lillathee thanna annahu najin minhuma othkurnee AAinda rabbika faansahu alshshaytanu thikra rabbihi falabitha fee alssijni bidAAa sineena

English

Ahmed Ali

And (Joseph) asked the man he knew would be released: "Remember me to your lord;" but Satan made him forget to mention this to his lord, and Joseph remained in prison for a number of years.
