Surah Yusuf Ayah 53 (12:53)

Verse 53 of 111Juz 13Page 242Hizb 25

وَمَآ أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِىٓ إِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌۢ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّىٓ إِنَّ رَبِّى غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ۝٥٣

Wamaa ubarri'u nafsee, innan-nafsa la'ammaaratum bis-soo'i illaa maa rahima rabbee, inna rabbee ghafoorur raheem

And I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

  1. Although Ibn Katheer attributes the words of verses 52-53 to the wife of al-ʿAzeez, others have concluded that they were spoken by Joseph, thereby justifying his request for an inquiry and acknowledging Allāh's mercy to him.

Hilali and Khan

"And I free not myself (from the blame). Verily, the (human) self is inclined to evil, except when my Lord bestows His Mercy (upon whom He wills). Verily, my Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Marmaduke Pickthall

I do not exculpate myself. Lo! the (human) soul enjoineth unto evil, save that whereon my Lord hath mercy. Lo! my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful

Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the (human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful

Muhammad Junagarhi

میں اپنے نفس کی پاکیزگی بیان نہیں کرتا ۔ بیشک نفس تو برائی پر ابھارنے واﻻ ہی ہے، مگر یہ کہ میرا پروردگار ہی اپنا رحم کرے، یقیناً میرا پالنے واﻻ بڑی بخشش کرنے واﻻ اور بہت مہربانی فرمانے واﻻ ہے.

Dan aku tidak (menyatakan) diriku bebas (dari kesalahan), karena sesungguhnya nafsu itu selalu mendorong kepada kejahatan, kecuali (nafsu) yang diberi rahmat oleh Tuhanku. Sesungguhnya Tuhanku Maha Pengampun, Maha Penyayang.

Bengali · Abu Bakr Zakaria

আর আমি নিজকে নির্দোষ মনে করিনা, কেননা নিশ্চয় মানুষের নাফস খারাপ কাজের নির্দেশ দিয়েই থাকে, কিন্তু সে নয়, যার প্রতি আমার রব দয়া করেন। নিশ্চয় আমার রব অতি ক্ষমাশীল, পরম দয়ালু।’
