اَسْبَابَ السَّمٰوٰتِ فَاَطَّلِعَ اِلٰۤی اِلٰهِ مُوْسٰی وَاِنِّیْ لَاَظُنُّهٗ كَاذِبًا ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ زُیِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوْٓءُ عَمَلِهٖ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِیْلِ ؕ وَمَا كَیْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ تَبَابٍ ۟۠

Saheeh International
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
In the hope I can reach the paths which lead to the skies, so I can see the god of Moses that he claims is the true god. And I believe Moses is lying in what he claims”. And in this way, Pharoah's bad deeds were adorned for him when he made his request to Haman, and he was turned from the true path to the path of misguidance.And the plot of Pharaoh to make the falsehood he believed dominant and to refute the truth Moses brought, is in complete loss. It will be a vain attempt, ending in failure and eternal wretchedness.
