وَقَالُوا
يَاأَيُّهَ
السَّاحِرُ
ادْعُ
لَنَا
رَبَّكَ
بِمَا
عَهِدَ
عِندَكَ
إِنَّنَا
لَمُهْتَدُونَ

They would say, ‘O magician! Invoke your Lord for us by the covenant He has made with you [to remove this scourge]. We will indeed be guided [when it is removed].’
— Ali Quli Qarai
And they said, "O thou sorcerer! Invoke thy Lord for us according to His covenant with thee; for we shall truly accept guidance."
