How many populations have We destroyed, which were given to wrong-doing? They tumbled down on their roofs. And how many wells are lying idle and neglected, and castles lofty and well-built?

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

How many towns steeped in wrongdoing We have destroyed and left in total ruin; how many deserted wells; how many lofty palaces!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

How many a township have We destroyed while it was sinful, so that it lieth (to this day) in ruins, and (how many) a deserted well and lofty tower!

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And how many a city did We destroy while it was committing wrong - so it is [now] fallen into ruin - and [how many] an abandoned well and [how many] a lofty palace.

فكثيرًا من القرى الظالمة بكفرها أهلكنا أهلها، فديارهم مهدَّمة خَلَتْ مِن سكانها، وآبارها لا يُستقى منها، وقصورها العالية المزخرفة لم تدفع عن أهلها سوء العذاب.
