أَهُمْ
خَيْرٌ
أَمْ
قَوْمُ
تُبَّعٍ
وَالَّذِينَ
مِن
قَبْلِهِمْ
أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ
إِنَّهُمْ
كَانُوا
مُجْرِمِينَ
ʾa-hum khayrun ʾam qawmu tubbaʿin wa-lladhīna min qablihim ʾahlaknāhum ʾinnahum kānū mujrimīna
Are they better, or the people of Tubba‘, and those who were before them? We destroyed them; indeed, they were guilty.
— Ali Quli Qarai
What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin.
