قَالُوا
يَامُوسَى
إِنَّا
لَن
نَّدْخُلَهَا
أَبَدًا
مَّا
دَامُوا
فِيهَا
فَاذْهَبْ
أَنتَ
وَرَبُّكَ
فَقَاتِلَا
إِنَّا
هَاهُنَا
قَاعِدُونَ

They said, ‘O Moses, we will never enter it so long as they remain in it. Go ahead, you and your Lord, and fight! We will be sitting right here.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
They said: "O Moses! while they remain there, never shall we be able to enter, to the end of time. Go thou, and thy Lord, and fight ye two, while we sit here (and watch)."
