فلما ان اراد ان يبطش بالذي هو عدو لهما قال يا موسى اتريد ان تقتلني كما قتلت نفسا بالامس ان تريد الا ان تكون جبارا في الارض وما تريد ان تكون من المصلحين

Then, when he decided to lay Hold of the man who was An enemy to both of them, That man said: "O Moses! Is it thy intention to slay me As thou slewest a man Yesterday? Thy intention is None other than to become A powerful violent man In the land, and not to be One who sets things right!
