فَأَصْبَحَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَآئِفًۭا يَتَرَقَّبُ فَإِذَا ٱلَّذِى ٱسْتَنصَرَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَسْتَصْرِخُهُۥ ۚ قَالَ لَهُۥ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّكَ لَغَوِىٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

سُورَةُ القَصَصِ
English — Sahih International
And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator."
اردو — مودودی
دُوسرے روز وہ صبح سویرے ڈرتا اور ہر طرف سے خطرہ بھانپتا ہوا شہر میں جا رہا تھا کہ یکایک کیا دیکھتا ہے کہ وہی شخص جس نے کل اسے مدد کے لیے پکارا تھا آج پھر اسے پکار رہا ہے موسیٰؑ نے کہا "تُو تو بڑا ہی بہکا ہُوا آدمی ہے"
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Karena itu, jadilah Musa di kota itu merasa takut menunggu-nunggu dengan khawatir (akibat perbuatannya), maka tiba-tiba orang yang meminta pertolongan kemarin berteriak meminta pertolongan kepadanya. Musa berkata kepadanya: "Sesungguhnya kamu benar-benar orang sesat yang nyata (kesesatannya)".
Ibn Kathir
How the Secret of this Killing became known
Allah tells us that when Musa killed that Coptic,
فِى الْمَدِينَةِ خَآئِفاً
(he became afraid in the city) meaning, of the consequences of his action,
يَتَرَقَّبُ
(looking about) means, turning around and watching out, waiting for the consequences of his action to befall him. He went out and about, and saw the man who sought his help the day before, fighting with another Coptic. When Musa passed by him, he called for his help again, against this other Coptic. Musa said to him:
إِنَّكَ لَغَوِىٌّ مُّبِينٌ
(Verily, you are a plain misleader!) meaning, `you obviously lead people astray and are very evil.' Then Musa intended to attack that Coptic, but the Israelite -- because of his own cowardice and weakness -- thought that Musa wanted to hit him because of what he had said, so he said, in self-defence --
يمُوسَى أَتُرِيدُ أَن تَقْتُلَنِى كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْساً بِالاٌّمْسِ
(O Musa! Is it your intention to kill me as you killed a man yesterday) Nobody except him and Musa, peace be upon him, knew about it, but when the other Coptic heard this, he took the news to Fir`awn's gate and told him about it. So Fir`awn came to know of it, and he became very angry and resolved to kill Musa, so he sent people after him to bring him to him.

فأصبح موسى في مدينة فرعون خائفًا يترقب الأخبار مما يتحدث به الناس في أمره وأمر قتيله، فرأى صاحبه بالأمس يقاتل قبطيًا آخر، ويطلب منه النصر، قال له موسى: إنك لكثير الغَواية ظاهر الضلال.
