The Elephant
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ ١
Alam tara kaifa fa‘ala rabbuka bi'aṣḥābil-fīl(i).
Have you not considered, [O Muḥammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ ٢
Alam yaj‘al kaidahum fī taḍlīl(in).
Did He not make their plan into misguidance?
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣
Wa arsala ‘alaihim ṭairan abābīl(a).
And He sent against them birds in flocks,
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ ٤
Tarmīhim biḥijāratim min sijjīl(in).
Striking them with stones of hard clay,
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ ٥
Fa ja‘alahum ka‘aṣfim ma'kūl(in).
And He made them like eaten straw.
