أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ 1
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ 2
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ 3
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ 4
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ 5
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
