Have you noted what your Lord did to the people of the elephant?
أَلَم تَرَ كَيفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصحٰبِ الفيلِ
alam tara kaifa fa’ala rabbuka bi ashaabil feel
Did He not cause their schemes to backfire?
أَلَم يَجعَل كَيدَهُم فى تَضليلٍ
alam yaj’al kaidahum fee tadleel
He sent upon them swarms of birds.
وَأَرسَلَ عَلَيهِم طَيرًا أَبابيلَ
wa arsala ‘alaihim tairan abaabeel
That showered them with hard stones.
تَرميهِم بِحِجارَةٍ مِن سِجّيلٍ
tarmeehim bihijaaratim min sijjeel
He made them like chewed up hay.
فَجَعَلَهُم كَعَصفٍ مَأكولٍ
faja ‘alahum ka’asfim m’akool
