And He overthrew the Cities of the Plain,
And that it is He Who threw down the upturned townships?
and the Subverted City He also overthrew,
just as He thrust into perdition those cities that were overthrown
And the subverted cities He overthrew.
And He destroyed the overthrown cities [of Sodom to which Prophet Lout (Lot) was sent].
And He toppled the ruined cities.
And He brought perdition upon the subverted cities
And He destroyed the overthrown cities.
And Al-Mu'tafikah He destroyed
and He overthrew the town that was overturned,
He plunged the villages
And the overturned towns He hurled down
It is He who turned upside down the people of Lot
And the overthrown cities did He overthrow,
Wa<b>a</b>lmutafikata ahw<u>a</u>
