وَكَأَيِّن
مِّن
قَرْيَةٍ
عَتَتْ
عَنْ
أَمْرِ
رَبِّهَا
وَرُسُلِهِ
فَحَاسَبْنَاهَا
حِسَابًا
شَدِيدًا
وَعَذَّبْنَاهَا
عَذَابًا
نُّكْرًا
wa-ka-ʾayyin min qaryatin ʿatat ʿan ʾamri rabbihā wa-rusulihī fa-ḥāsabnāhā ḥisāban shadīdan wa-ʿadhdhabnāhā ʿadhāban nukran
How many a town defied the command of its Lord and His apostles, then We called it to a severe account and punished it with a dire punishment.
— Ali Quli Qarai
How many populations that insolently opposed the Command of their Lord and of His messengers, did We not then call to account,- to severe account?- and We imposed on them an exemplary Punishment.
