وَأَنَا اخْتَرْتُكَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰ

Wa anakhtartuka fastami' limaa yoohaa

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].

إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِذِكْرِي

Innaneee Anal laahu laaa ilaaha illaa Ana fa'budnee wa aqimis-salaata lizikree

Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ

Innas Saa'ata aatiyatun akaadu ukhfeehaa litujzaa kullu nafsim bimaa tas'aa

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ فَتَرْدَىٰ

Falaa yasuddannnaka 'anhaa mal laa yu'minu bihaa wattaba'a hawaahu fatardaa

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.

وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَا مُوسَىٰ

Wa maa tilka bi yamee nika yaa Moosaa

And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"

قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَآرِبُ أُخْرَىٰ

Qaala hiya 'asaaya atawakka'u alaihaa wa ahushshu bihaa 'alaa ghanamee wa liya feehaa ma aaribu ukhraa

He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses."

قَالَ أَلْقِهَا يَا مُوسَىٰ

Qaala alqihaa yaa Moosaa

[Allah] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."

فَأَلْقَاهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٌ تَسْعَىٰ

Fa-alqaahaa fa -izaa hiya haiyatun tas'aa

So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ ۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا الْأُولَىٰ

Qaala khuzhaa wa laa ta khaf sanu'eeduhaa seeratahal oolaa

[Allah] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.

وَاضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ آيَةً أُخْرَىٰ

Wadmum yadaka ilaa janaahika takhruj baidaaa'a min ghairi sooo'in Aayatan ukhraa

And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign,

لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا الْكُبْرَى

Linuriyaka min Aayaatinal Kubra

That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs.

اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

Izhab ilaa Fir'awna innahoo taghaa

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed."

قَالَ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي

Qaala Rabbish rah lee sadree

[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance]

وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي

Wa yassir leee amree

And ease for me my task

وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي

Wahlul 'uqdatam milli saanee

And untie the knot from my tongue

يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

Yafqahoo qawlee

That they may understand my speech.

وَاجْعَل لِّي وَزِيرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِي

Waj'al lee wazeeram min ahlee

And appoint for me a minister from my family -

هَارُونَ أَخِي

Haaroona akhee

Aaron, my brother.

اشْدُدْ بِهِ أَزْرِي

Ushdud biheee azree

Increase through him my strength

وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِي أَمْرِي

Wa ashrik hu feee amree

And let him share my task

كَيْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًا

Kai nusabbihaka kaseeraa

That we may exalt You much

وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا

Wa nazkuraka kaseeraa

And remember You much.

إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًا

Innaka kunta binaa baseeraa

Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."

قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَا مُوسَىٰ

Qaala qad ooteeta su'laka yaa Moosaa

[Allah] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَيْكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَىٰ

Wa laqad manannaa 'alaika marratan ukhraaa

And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,
