يَا بَنِيَّ اذْهَبُوا فَتَحَسَّسُوا مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ

"O my sons, go and search for Joseph and his brother, and do not despair of relief from Allah. Indeed, none despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people."

اے میرے بیٹو! جاؤ یوسف اور اس کے بھائی کی خبر لاؤ، اور اللہ کی رحمت سے ناامید نہ ہو۔ بے شک اللہ کی رحمت سے صرف کافر لوگ ناامید ہوتے ہیں۔

Explanation

Jacob was heartbroken on losing his two very dear sons. But at the same time he pinned his hopes on the Grace of God. He was certain that Joseph’s dream predicted the future and that it would definitely come true. That is why he asked his sons to go and search for Joseph and also to try to have Benjamin released.
