بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
HAVE YOU NOT seen how your Lord dealt with the people of the elephants?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
Did He not make their plan go wrong,
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
And sent hordes of chargers flying against them,
تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ
(While) you were pelting them with stones of porphyritic lava,
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ
And turned them into pastured fields of corn?
