فلما دخلوا عليه قالوا يا ايها العزيز مسنا واهلنا الضر وجئنا ببضاعة مزجاة فاوف لنا الكيل وتصدق علينا ان الله يجزي المتصدقين

Then, when they came (Back) into (Joseph's) presence They said: "O exalted one! Distress has seized us And our family: we have (Now) brought but scanty capital: So pay us full measure, (We pray thee), and treat it As charity to us: for God Doth reward the charitable."
