1.  *     HAST thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the army of the ELEPHANT?
 
2.  *     Did he not cause their stratagem to miscarry?
 
3.  *     And he sent against them birds in flocks (ababils),
 
4.  *     Claystones did they hurl down upon them,
 
5.  *     And he made them like stubble eaten down!
