واذ استسقى موسى لقومه فقلنا اضرب بعصاك الحجر فانفجرت منه اثنتا عشرة عينا قد علم كل اناس مشربهم كلوا واشربوا من رزق الله ولا تعثوا في الارض مفسدين

And remember Moses prayed For water for his people; We said: "Strike the rock With thy staff." Then gushed forth Therefrom twelve springs. Each group knew its own place For water. So eat and drink Of the sustenance provided by God, And do no evil nor mischief On the (face of the) earth.
