Surah 12. Yusuf, Ayah 33
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱلسِّجْنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا يَدْعُونَنِىٓ إِلَيْهِ ۖ وَإِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّى كَيْدَهُنَّ أَصْبُ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ
Q a la rabbi a l ssijnu a h abbu ilayya mimm a yadAAoonanee ilayhi waill a ta s rif AAannee kaydahunna a s bu ilayhinna waakun mina alj a hileen a Said he: "O my Sustainer! Prison is more desirable to me than [compliance with] what these women invite me to: for, unless Thou turn away their guile from me, I might yet yield to their allure31 and become one of those who are unaware [of right and wrong]."
- Mohammad Asad
Yusuf said: "O my Rabb! I would rather go to prison than that to which they invite me; and unless You ward off their cunning snare from me, I may, in my youthful folly, feel inclined towards them and become one of the ignorant."
