بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ ﴿1﴾
Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi ashaabil feel
Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ ﴿2﴾
Alam yaj'al kai dahum fee tad leel
Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ ﴿3﴾
Wa arsala 'alaihim tairan abaabeel
And send against them swarms of flying creatures,
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ ﴿4﴾
Tar meehim bi hi jaaratim min sij jeel
Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ ﴿5﴾
Faja 'alahum ka'asfim m'akool
And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle)?
