Al-Fil

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

alam tara kayfa faʿala rabbuka bi-aṣḥābi l-fīli

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

alam yajʿal kaydahum fī taḍlīlin

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

wa-arsala ʿalayhim ṭayran abābīla

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

tarmīhim biḥijāratin min sijjīlin

And He made them like eaten straw.

fajaʿalahum kaʿaṣfin makūlin
