بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ أَلَم تَرَ كَيفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصحابِ الفيلِ

Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?

وَأَرسَلَ عَلَيهِم طَيرًا أَبابيلَ

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرميهِم بِحِجارَةٍ مِن سِجّيلٍ

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُم كَعَصفٍ مَأكولٍ

And He made them like eaten straw.
