بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ1
Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi ashaabil feel
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ2
Did He not make their plan into misguidance?
Alam yaj'al kai dahum fee tad leel
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ3
And He sent against them birds in flocks,
Wa arsala 'alaihim tairan abaabeel
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ4
Striking them with stones of hard clay,
Tar meehim bi hi jaaratim min sij jeel
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ5
And He made them like eaten straw.
Faja 'alahum ka'asfim m'akool
