ان فرعون علا في الارض وجعل اهلها شيعا يستضعف طائفة منهم يذبح ابناءهم ويستحيي نساءهم انه كان من المفسدين

Truly Pharaoh elated himself In the land and broke up Its people into sections, Depressing a small group Among them: their sons he slew, But he kept alive their females: For he was indeed A maker of mischief.
