بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
1
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَیۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَـٰبِ ٱلۡفِیلِ
ART THOU NOT aware of how thy Sustainer dealt with the Army of the Elephant?
2
أَلَمۡ یَجۡعَلۡ كَیۡدَهُمۡ فِی تَضۡلِیلࣲ
Did He not utterly confound their artful planning?
3
وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ طَیۡرًا أَبَابِیلَ
Thus, He let loose upon them great swarms of flying creatures
4
تَرۡمِیهِم بِحِجَارَةࣲ مِّن سِجِّیلࣲ
which smote them with stone-hard blows of chastisement pre-ordained,
5
فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفࣲ مَّأۡكُولِۭ
and caused them to become like a field of grain that has been eaten down to stubble
