In Islam
Said Moses: 'Throw ye first.'
So when they threw,
They bewitched the eyes
Of the people, and struck
Terror into them: for they
Showed a great (feat of) magic.
We put it into Moses's mind
By inspiration: 'Throw (now)
Thy rod': and behold!
It swallows up straightway
All the falsehoods
Which they fake!
