Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka bi-as-habialfeel
Have you not considered, [O Muḥammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleel
Did He not make their plan into misguidance?
Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeel
And He sent against them birds in flocks,
Tarmeehim bihijaratin minsijjeel
Striking them with stones of hard clay,
FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin ma/kool
And He made them like eaten straw.
