Without diacritics

فلما جاءهم الحق من عندنا قالوا لولا اوتي مثل ما اوتي موسى اولم يكفروا بما اوتي موسى من قبل قالوا سحران تظاهرا وقالوا انا بكل كافرون

But (now), when the Truth Has come to them from Ourselves, They say, "Why are not (Signs) sent to him, like Those which were sent to Moses?" Do they not then reject (The Signs) which were formerly Sent to Moses? They say: "Two kinds of sorcery, Each assisting the other . And they say: "For us, We reject all (such things)!"
