فاذا جاءتهم الحسنة قالوا لنا هذه وان تصبهم سيئة يطيروا بموسى ومن معه الا انما طائرهم عند الله ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون

But when good (times) came, They said, "This is due To us;" when gripped By calamity, they ascribed it To evil omens connected With Moses and those with him! Behold! in truth the omens Of evil are theirs In God's sight, but most Of them do not understand!
