Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli

Alam Tará Kayfa Fa`ala Rabbuka Bi'aşĥābi Al-Fīl

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with the people of the elephant

Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin

Alam Yaj`al Kaydahum Fī Tađlīlin

Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela

Wa 'Arsala `Alayhim Ţayrāan 'Abābīla

by sending against them flocks of swallows

Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin

Tarmīhim Biĥijāratin Min Sijjīlin

which showered them with small pebbles of clay

FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin

Faja`alahum Ka`aşfin Ma'kūlin

to turn them into (something) like the left-over grass grazed by cattle
