فَأَهْلَكْنَا
أَشَدَّ
مِنْهُم
بَطْشًا
وَمَضَى
مَثَلُ
الْأَوَّلِينَ

So We destroyed those who were stronger than these, and the example of the former peoples has already come to pass.
— Ali Quli Qarai
So We destroyed (them)- stronger in power than these;- and (thus) has passed on the Parable of the peoples of old.
