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) ?
1 Woe unto every slandering
traducer,
2 Who hath gathered wealth (of
this world) and arranged it.
3 He thinketh that his wealth
will render him immortal.
4 Nay, but verily he will be
flung to the Consuming One.
5 Ah, what will convey unto
thee what the Consuming One is!
6 (It is) the fire of Allah,
kindled,
7 Which leapeth up over the
hearts (of men).
8 Lo! it is closed in on them
9 In outstretched columns.
