Al-Hajj · Ayah 45
فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَٰهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَقَصْرٍ مَّشِيدٍ
And how many a city did We destroy while it was committing wrong - so it is [now] fallen into ruin[930] - and [how many] an abandoned well and [how many] a lofty palace.[931]
Translator's notes
[930] Literally, "fallen in upon its roofs," i.e., after the roofs of its buildings had caved in, the walls collapsed over them. [931] i.e., How many wells have been left inoperative, and how many palaces have been emptied of their occupants in the past.
