Verse No	Pickthall	Shakir	Yusuf Ali	Arabic
12:33	He said: O my Lord! Prison is more dear than that unto which they urge me, and if Thou fend not off their wiles from me I shall incline unto them and become of the foolish.	He said: My Lord! the prison house is dearer to me than that to which they invite me; and if Thou turn not away their device from me, I will yearn towards them and become (one) of the ignorant.	He said: "O my Lord! the prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me: Unless Thou turn away their snare from me, I should (in my youthful folly) feel inclined towards them and join the ranks of the ignorant."	قَالَ رَبِّ السِّجْنُ احَبُّ اِلَيَّ مِمَّا يَدْعُونَنِي اِلَيْهِ وَاِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُنَّ اصْبُ اِلَيْهِنَّ وَاكُنْ مِنْ الْجَهِلِينَ
