Tilka Aayaatul Kitaabil Mubeen

These are the verses of the clear Book.

La'allaka baakhi'un nafsaka allaa yakoonoo mu'mineen

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

In nashaa nunazzil 'alaihim minas samaaa'i Aayatan fazallat a'naaquhum lahaa khaadi'een

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

Wa maa yaateehim min zikrim minar Rahmaani muhdasin illaa kaanoo 'anhu mu'rideen

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

Faqad kazzaboo fasa yaateehim ambaaa'u maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

Awa lam yaraw ilal ardi kam ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjin kareem

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

Inn fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa iz naadaa Rabbuka Moosaaa ani'-til qawmaz zaalimeen

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

Qawma Fir'awn; alaa yattaqoon

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"

Qaala Rabbi inneee akhaafu ai yukazziboon

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

Wa yadeequ sadree wa laa yantaliqu lisaanee fa arsil ilaa Haaroon

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

Wa lahum 'alaiya zambun fa akhaafu ai yaqtuloon

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

Qaala kallaa fazhabaa bi Aayaatinaaa innaa ma'akum mustami'oon

[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

Faatiyaa Fir'awna faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolu Rabbil 'aalameen

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

An arsil ma'anaa Baneee Israaa'eel

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

Qaala alam nurabbika feenaa waleedanw wa labista feenaa min 'umurika sineen

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

Wa fa'alta fa'latakal latee fa'alta wa anta minal kaafireen

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

Qaala fa'altuhaaa izanw wa ana minad daaaleen

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja'alanee minal mursaleen

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.

Wa tilka ni'matun tamun nuhaa 'alaiya an 'abbatta Baneee Israaa'eel

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

Qaala Fir'awnu wa maa Rabbul 'aalameen

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

Qaala Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa in kuntum mooqineen

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

Qaala liman hawlahooo alaa tastami'oon

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

Qaala Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

Qaala inna Rasoolakumul lazee ursila ilaikum lamajnoon

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

Qaala Rabbul mashriqi wal maghribi wa maa baina humaa in kuntum ta'qiloon

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

Qaala la'init takhazta ilaahan ghairee la aj'alannaka minal masjooneen

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

Qaala awalw ji'tuka bishai'im mubeen

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"
