أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ ١

Have you not seen ˹O Prophet˺ how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant?

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ ٢

Did He not frustrate their scheme?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣

For He sent against them flocks of birds,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ ٤

that pelted them with stones of baked clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ ٥

leaving them like chewed up straw.
