12:33 qaala rab-bis sijnu aHab-bu ilay-ya mim-maa yad’UUnaniy ilayh* wa il-laa taSrif ‘An-niy kaydahun-na aSbu ilayhin-na wa akum minal jaahiliyn
Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
He said, "O my Lord! Prison is dearer to me than the deed they invite me to; and if You do not repel their deceit away from me, I may incline towards them and be unwise."
Yusuf Ali:
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."
Pickthal:
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.
