Ash-Shu'araa
قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَا٘ اِذًا وَّاَنَا مِنَ الضَّآلِّيۡنَؕ
[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray
فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنۡكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِيۡ رَبِّيۡ حُكۡمًا وَّجَعَلَنِيۡ مِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَ
So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers
وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ اَنۡ عَبَّدۡتَّ بَنِيۡ٘ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَؕ
And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel
قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ
Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds
قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاؕ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّوۡقِنِيۡنَ
[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced
قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهٗ٘ اَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُوۡنَ
[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear
قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ اٰبَآئِكُمُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ
[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers
قَالَ اِنَّ رَسُوۡلَكُمُ الَّذِيۡ٘ اُرۡسِلَ اِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُوۡنٌ
[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad
قَالَ رَبُّ الۡمَشۡرِقِ وَالۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاؕ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ
[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason
قَالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذۡتَ اِلٰهًا غَيۡرِيۡ لَاَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الۡمَسۡجُوۡنِيۡنَ
[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned
قَالَ اَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَيۡءٍ مُّبِيۡنٍۚ
[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest
قَالَ فَاۡتِ بِهٖ٘ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ
[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful
فَاَلۡقٰي عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۚۖ
So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest
وَّنَزَعَ يَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنّٰظِرِيۡنَࣖ
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers
قَالَ لِلۡمَلَاِ حَوۡلَهٗ٘ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِيۡمٌۙ
[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician
يُّرِيۡدُ اَنۡ يُّخۡرِجَكُمۡ مِّنۡ اَرۡضِكُمۡ بِسِحۡرِهٖࣗۖ فَمَاذَا تَاۡمُرُوۡنَ
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise
قَالُوۡ٘ا اَرۡجِهۡ وَاَخَاهُ وَابۡعَثۡ فِي الۡمَدَآئِنِ حٰشِرِيۡنَۙ
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
يَاۡتُوۡكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيۡمٍ
Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician
فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيۡقَاتِ يَوۡمٍ مَّعۡلُوۡمٍۙ
So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day
وَّقِيۡلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّجۡتَمِعُوۡنَۙ
And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
