Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ ٢
Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣
And send against them swarms of flying creatures,
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ ٤
Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ ٥
And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle)?
