وَكَمْ
أَهْلَكْنَا
قَبْلَهُم
مِّن
قَرْنٍ
هَلْ
تُحِسُّ
مِنْهُم
مِّنْ
أَحَدٍ
أَوْ
تَسْمَعُ
لَهُمْ
رِكْزًا
wa-kam ʾahlaknā qablahum min qarnin hal tuḥissu minhum min ʾaḥadin ʾaw tasmaʿu lahum rikzan
How many a generation We have destroyed before them! Can you descry any one of them, or hear from them so much as a murmur?
— Ali Quli Qarai
But how many (countless) generations before them have We destroyed? Canst thou find a single one of them (now) or hear (so much as) a whisper of them?
