لَعَمۡرُكَ إِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي سَكۡرَتِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ
Verily, by thy life (O Prophet), in their wild intoxication, they wander in distraction, to and fro.
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُشۡرِقِينَ
But the (mighty) Blast overtook them before morning,
فَجَعَلۡنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
And We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
Behold! in this are Signs for those who by tokens do understand.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٖ مُّقِيمٍ
And the (cities were) right on the high-road.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Behold! in this is a sign for those who believed.
وَإِن كَانَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأَيۡكَةِ لَظَٰلِمِينَ
And the Companions of the Wood were also wrong-doers;
فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٖ مُّبِينٖ
So We exacted retribution from them. They were both on an open highway, plain to see.
