(1)أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَـٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ  

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

(2) أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِى تَضۡلِيلٍ۬  

Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,  

(3) وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡہِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ  

And send against them swarms of flying creatures,  

(4) تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ۬ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ۬  

Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,  

(5) فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٍ۬ مَّأۡڪُولِۭ  

And made them like green crops devoured by cattle?
