واورثنا القوم الذين كانوا يستضعفون مشارق الارض ومغاربها التي باركنا فيها وتمت كلمت ربك الحسنى على بني اسرائيل بما صبروا ودمرنا ما كان يصنع فرعون وقومه وما كانوا يعرشون

And We made a people, Considered weak (and of no account), Inheritors of lands In both East and West,— Lands whereon We sent Down Our blessings. The fair promise of thy Lord Was fulfilled for the Children Of Israel, because they had Patience and constancy, And We levelled to the ground The great Works and fine Buildings Which Pharaoh and his people Erected (with such pride).
