وَقَد خابَ مَن دَسّاها

And doomed is the one who taints it.

كَذَّبَت ثَمودُ بِطَغواها

Thamud, in their transgression, denied.

إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشقاها

When the most wretched amongst them was roused.

فَقالَ لَهُم رَسولُ اللَّهِ ناقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقياها

The messenger of God said to them: “God’s she-camel, let her drink.”

فَكَذَّبوهُ فَعَقَروها فَدَمدَمَ عَلَيهِم رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِم فَسَوّاها

But they rejected him and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their sin, struck them with a punishment, and He leveled it.
