وَكَمْ
أَهْلَكْنَا
مِن
قَرْيَةٍ
بَطِرَتْ
مَعِيشَتَهَا
فَتِلْكَ
مَسَاكِنُهُمْ
لَمْ
تُسْكَن
مِّن
بَعْدِهِمْ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلًا
وَكُنَّا
نَحْنُ
الْوَارِثِينَ
wa-kam ʾahlaknā min qaryatin baṭirat maʿīshatahā fa-tilka masākinuhum lam tuskan min baʿdihim ʾillā qalīlan wa-kunnā naḥnu l-wārithīna
How many nations, who had enjoyed great prosperity, had We destroyed? Those are their homes which were not inhabited thereafter except for a short time. Only We were their heirs.
