قَالَ مُوْسٰى مَا جِئْتُمْ بِہِ۝۰ۙ السِّحْرُ۝۰ۭ
Qaala Moosaa Maa Ji-Tum Bihis Sih'r
Musa said : What you have brought is sorcery;

اِنَّ اللہَ سَيُبْطِلُہٗ۝۰ۭ
Innallaaha Sayubt'iluh
verily Allah will soon make it vain:

اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ۝۸۱
Innallaaha Laa Yus'lih'u A'malal Mufsideen
verily Allah does not put in order the work of the mischief-makers.

وَ يُحِقُّ اللہُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِہٖ وَ لَوْ كَرِہَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ۝۸۲ۧ
Wa Yohiqqul Laahul Haqqa Bekalemaatehi Wa Law Karehal Mujremoon
And Allah will show the truth to be the truth by His words, though the guilty may be averse (to it).

فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَ بَطَلَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ۝
Fawaqa-A'l H'aqqu Wa Bat'ala Maa Kanoo Ya'-Maloon
Thus the truth was established, and what they were doing was made vain.

Faghuliboo Hunaa Lika Wanqalaboo S'aaghireen
So there and then (Firawn and his enchanters) were defeated and made to look small, humiliated]

Another Translation
In the Name of Allah, and by Allah; in the Name of Allah, and what Allah wills. In the Name of Allah, there is no might or power except with Allah. Moosa said to them: What you have brought is deception; surely Allah will make it naught; surely Allah does not make the work of mischief-makers to thrive. And Allah will show the truth to be the truth by His words, though the guilty may be averse (to it). So the truth was established, and what they did became null. Thus they were vanquished there, and they went back abased. Image
