فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ٢١
But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);
79:22
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ٢٢
Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
79:23
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ٢٣
Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,
79:24
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤
Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".
79:25
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ ٢٥
But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.
