وَاتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوْسٰی مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ مِنْ حُلِیِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهٗ خُوَارٌ اَلَمْ یَرَوْا اَنَّهٗ لَا یُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا یَهْدِیْهِمْ سَبِیْلًا اِتَّخَذُوْهُ وَكَانُوْا ظٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Wattakhaza qawmu Moosaa mim ba'dihee min huliyyihim 'ijlan jasadal lahoo khuwaar; alam yaraw annahoo laa yukallimuhum wa laa yahdeehim sabeelaa; ittakhazoohu wa kaanoo zaalimeen
