الـفيل

1 Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ?

2 Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin

2 Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,

3 Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela

3 And send against them swarms of flying creatures,

4 Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin

4 Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,

5 FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin

5 And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?
