Faarahu alayata alkubra

Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

Fakaththaba waAAasa

But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ

Thumma adbara yasAAa

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ

Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola
