بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
alam tara kayfa faʿala rabbuka bi-aṣḥābi l-fīli
Have you not seen ˹O Prophet˺ how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant?
alam yajʿal kaydahum fī taḍlīlin
Did He not frustrate their scheme?
wa-arsala ʿalayhim ṭayran abābīla
For He sent against them flocks of birds,
tarmīhim biḥijāratin min sijjīlin
that pelted them with stones of baked clay,
fajaʿalahum kaʿaṣfin makūlin
leaving them like chewed up straw.
