Arabic (Unicode) Arabic (Translit.) Palmer Pickthall
1 Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ?
2 Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,
3 And send against them swarms of flying creatures,
4 Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,
5
And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?
