فَأَلقاها فَإِذا هِيَ حَيَّةٌ تَسعىٰ

When he threw it down, it instantly became a moving serpent.

قالَ خُذها وَلا تَخَف ۖ سَنُعيدُها سيرَتَهَا الأولىٰ

He said, “Pick it up, and fear not; We will restore it to its original state.

وَاضمُم يَدَكَ إِلىٰ جَناحِكَ تَخرُج بَيضاءَ مِن غَيرِ سوءٍ آيَةً أُخرىٰ

Now, put your hand under your arm; it will come out white, without any harm—another sign.

لِنُرِيَكَ مِن آياتِنَا الكُبرَى

That We may show you some of Our greater signs.

اذهَب إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ إِنَّهُ طَغىٰ

Go to Pharaoh, for he became tyrannical.”

وَيَسِّر لي أَمري

And ease my task for me.

وَاحلُل عُقدَةً مِن لِساني

And remove the knot from my tongue.

يَفقَهوا قَولي

So they may understand my speech.

وَاجعَل لي وَزيرًا مِن أَهلي

Grant me a helper from my family.

هارونَ أَخِي

Aaron, my brother.
