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