هَل أَتاكَ حَديثُ موسىٰ

Did the story of Moses reach you?

إِذ ناداهُ رَبُّهُ بِالوادِ المُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

When his Lord called to him, in the sacred valley of Tuwa.

اذهَب إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ إِنَّهُ طَغىٰ

“Go to Pharaoh, indeed, he has transgressed.”

فَقُل هَل لَكَ إِلىٰ أَن تَزَكّىٰ

And ask, “Are you inclined to purify yourself?

وَأَهدِيَكَ إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخشىٰ

And I may guide you to your Lord, so you would fear.”

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصىٰ

But he denied and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدبَرَ يَسعىٰ

Then he turned his back, striving.

فَحَشَرَ فَنادىٰ

He summoned and announced.

فَقالَ أَنا رَبُّكُمُ الأَعلىٰ

And he declared, “I am your supreme lord!”

فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكالَ الآخِرَةِ وَالأولىٰ

So, God seized him in exemplary punishment in the Last and the First.
