Sura 12 Yusuf (Joseph), ayah 53

1. وَمَا أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِي ۚ إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّي ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

   Translation by words

   وَمَآ

   "And not

   أُبَرِّئُ

   I absolve

   نَفْسِىٓ

   myself.

   إِنَّ

   Indeed,

   ٱلنَّفْسَ

   the soul

   لَأَمَّارَةٌۢ

   (is) a certain enjoiner

   بِٱلسُّوٓءِ

   of evil,

   إِلَّا

   unless

   مَا

   [that]

   رَحِمَ

   bestows Mercy

   رَبِّىٓ

   my Lord.

   إِنَّ

   Indeed,

   رَبِّى

   my Lord

   غَفُورٌ

   (is) Oft-Forgiving,

   رَّحِيمٌ

   Most Merciful."

   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."

   12:53
