يَٰقَوْمِ لَكُمُ ٱلْمُلْكُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ظَٰهِرِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِنۢ بَأْسِ ٱللَّهِ إِن جَآءَنَا ۚ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَآ أُرِيكُمْ إِلَّا مَآ أَرَىٰ وَمَآ أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ
O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allah if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct."

(O my people! Yours is the kingdom today, ye being uppermost) triumphant (in the land) of Egypt. (But who would save us from the wrath of Allah) from the torment of Allah (should it reach us) when it comes to us? (Pharaoh said: I do but show you) I do but command you (what I think) is my right that you should worship, (and I do but guide you) call you (to wise policy) to the way of the Truth and guidance.
