105:1
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ
کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ تمہارے پروردگار نے ہاتھی والوں کے ساتھ کیا کیا
Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant
105:2
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ
کیا ان کا داؤں غلط نہیں کیا؟ (گیا)
Did He not make their plan into misguidance
105:3
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
اور ان پر جھلڑ کے جھلڑ جانور بھیجے
And He sent against them birds in flocks
105:4
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
جو ان پر کھنگر کی پتھریاں پھینکتے تھے
Striking them with stones of hard clay
105:5
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ
تو ان کو ایسا کر دیا جیسے کھایا ہوا بھس
And He made them like eaten straw
