بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ
Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi ashaabil feel
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ
Alam yaj'al kai dahum fee tad leel
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
Wa arsala 'alaihim tairan abaabeel
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ
Tar meehim bi hi jaaratim min sij jeel
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ
Faja 'alahum ka'asfim m'akool
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
