بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ﴿١

Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi ashaabil feel

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

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ﴿٢

Alam yaj'al kai dahum fee tad leel

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ﴿٣

Wa arsala 'alaihim tairan abaabeel

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ﴿٤

Tar meehim bi hi jaaratim min sij jeel

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ﴿٥

Faja 'alahum ka'asfim m'akool

And He made them like eaten straw.
