قَالَ
إِنِّي
لَيَحْزُنُنِي
أَن
تَذْهَبُوا
بِهِ
وَأَخَافُ
أَن
يَأْكُلَهُ
الذِّئْبُ
وَأَنتُمْ
عَنْهُ
غَافِلُونَ
qāla ʾinnī la-yaḥzununī ʾan tadhhabū bihī wa-ʾakhāfu ʾan yaʾkulahu dh-dhiʾbu wa-ʾantum ʿanhu ghāfilūna
(Jacob) said: "Really it saddens me that ye should take him away: I fear lest the wolf should devour him while ye attend not to him."
— Abdullah Yusufali
He said, ‘It really upsets me that you should take him away, and I fear the wolf may eat him while you are oblivious of him.’
