فَعّالٌ لِما يُريدُ
Effecter of what He intends.
هَل أَتاكَ حَديثُ الجُنودِ
Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -
فِرعَونَ وَثَمودَ
[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?
بَلِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا في تَكذيبٍ
But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,
وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرائِهِم مُحيطٌ
While Allah encompasses them from behind.
