أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ

Alam tara kayfa fa'ala rabbuka bi-ashaabil-feel

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ

Alam yaj'al kaydahum fee tadleel

Did He not make their plan into misguidance

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

Wa arsala 'alayhim tayran abaabeel

And He sent against them birds in flocks

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ

Tarmeehim bihijaaratin min sijjeel

Striking them with stones of hard clay

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ

Faja'alahum ka'asfin ma'kool

And He made them like eaten straw
