فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْـــَٔـسُوْا مِنْہُ خَلَصُوْا نَجِيًّا۝۰ۭ قَالَ كَبِيْرُہُمْ اَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوْۗا اَنَّ اَبَاكُمْ قَدْ اَخَذَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللہِ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطْتُّمْ فِيْ يُوْسُفَ۝۰ۚ فَلَنْ اَبْرَحَ الْاَرْضَ حَتّٰى يَاْذَنَ لِيْۗ اَبِيْۗ اَوْ يَحْكُمَ اللہُ لِيْ۝۰ۚ وَہُوَ خَيْرُ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ۝۸۰

English

Ahmed Ali

When they despaired of (persuading) him, they went aside to confer. The oldest of them said: "You know that your father has pledged you in the name of God, and you have been guilty of iniquity in the case of Joseph before. I will not leave this place unless my father permits or God decides for me, for He is the best of all judges.

اِرْجِعُوْۗا اِلٰۗى اَبِيْكُمْ فَقُوْلُوْا يٰۗاَبَانَاۗ اِنَّ ابْنَكَ سَرَقَ۝۰ۚ وَمَا شَہِدْنَاۗ اِلَّا بِمَا عَلِمْنَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِلْغَيْبِ حٰفِظِيْنَ۝۸۱

So, go to your father and tell him: 'O father, your son has committed a theft. We bear witness to only what we know; we could not prevent the unknown.

81

وَسْـــَٔـلِ الْقَرْيَۃَ الَّتِيْ كُنَّا فِيْہَا وَالْعِيْرَ الَّتِيْۗ اَقْبَلْنَا فِيْہَا۝۰ۭ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ۝۸۲
Waisali alqaryata allatee kunna feeha waalAAeera allatee aqbalna feeha wainna lasadiqoona

Enquire from the people of that city, or ask the men of the caravan with whom we have come. We are verily speaking the truth.'"

82

قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ اَنْفُسُكُمْ اَمْرًا۝۰ۭ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيْلٌ۝۰ۭ عَسَى اللہُ اَنْ يَّاْتِيَنِيْ بِہِمْ جَمِيْعًا۝۰ۭ اِنَّہٗ ہُوَالْعَلِيْمُ الْحَكِيْمُ۝۸۳

"No," said (the father). "You have made up the story; but patience is best; God may bring them back to me. He is all-knowing and all-wise."

83

وَتَوَلّٰى عَنْہُمْ وَقَالَ يٰۗاَسَفٰى عَلٰي يُوْسُفَ وَابْيَضَّتْ عَيْنٰہُ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ فَہُوَكَظِيْمٌ۝۸۴

قَالُوْا تَاللہِ تَفْتَؤُا تَذْكُرُ يُوْسُفَ حَتّٰى تَكُوْنَ حَرَضًا اَوْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْہٰلِكِيْنَ۝۸۵
Qaloo taAllahi taftao tathkuru yoosufa hatta takoona haradan aw takoona mina alhalikeena

English

Ahmed Ali

"By God," said they, "you will never stop thinking of Joseph till you are consumed or perish."

85

قَالَ اِنَّمَاۗ اَشْكُوْا بَثِّيْ وَحُزْنِيْۗ اِلَى اللہِ وَاَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللہِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۸۶

O sons, go in search of Joseph and his brother, and do not despair of the mercy of God. Only they despair of God's mercy who do not believe."

87

فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوْا عَلَيْہِ قَالُوْا يٰۗاَيُّہَا الْعَزِيْزُ مَسَّـنَا وَاَہْلَنَا الضُّرُّ وَجِئْنَا بِبِضَاعَۃٍ مُّزْجٰىۃٍ فَاَوْفِ لَنَا الْكَيْلَ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْنَا۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يَجْزِي الْمُتَصَدِّقِيْنَ۝۸۸
Falamma dakhaloo AAalayhi qaloo ya ayyuha alAAazeezu massana waahlana alddurru wajina bibidaAAatin muzjatin faawfi lana alkayla watasaddaq AAalayna inna Allaha yajzee almutasaddiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

When they returned to him, they said (to Joseph): "O Minister, calamity has befallen us and our people. We have brought but a meagre sum, but give us full measure as alms bestowed. God surely rewards those who give alms."

88

قَالَ ہَلْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَّا فَعَلْتُمْ بِيُوْسُفَ وَاَخِيْہِ اِذْ اَنْتُمْ جٰہِلُوْنَ۝۸۹
