أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ١

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?

Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka bi-as-habialfeel

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ٢

Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,

Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleel

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ٣

And send against them swarms of flying creatures,

Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeel

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ٤

Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,

Tarmeehim bihijaratin minsijjeel

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ٥

And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle)?

FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin ma/kool
