بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ

Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the people of the elephants?

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ

Did He not bring their plan to naught?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

And He sent against them swarms of birds

تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ

which smote them with stones of baked clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ

and made them like straw eaten up (by cattle).
