أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ ١

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord did with the Men of the Elephant?

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ ٢

Did He not make their guile to go astray?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣

And He loosed upon them birds in flights,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ ٤

hurling against them stones of baked clay

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍ ٥

and He made them like green blades devoured.
