افلم يسيروا في الارض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم كانوا اكثر منهم واشد قوة واثارا في الارض فما اغنى عنهم ما كانوا يكسبون

Do they not travel through The earth and see what Was the End of those Before them? They were More numerous than these And superior in strength And in the traces (They have left) in the land: Yet all that they accomplished Was of no profit to them.
