أَلَمۡ تَرَ
Have you not seen ˹O Prophet˺
كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ ١
how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant?
أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلٖ ٢
Did He not frustrate their scheme?
وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣
For He sent against them flocks of birds,
تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ
that pelted them with stones
مِّن سِجِّيلٖ ٤
of baked clay,
فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ ٥
leaving them like chewed up straw.
