The Elephant
Have you not regarded how your Lord dealt with the army of the elephants?
— Ali Quli Qarai
Did He not make their stratagems go awry,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and send against them flocks of birds
— Ali Quli Qarai
pelting them with stones of shale,
— Ali Quli Qarai
thus making them like chewed-up straw?
