وَكَمْ And how many أَهْلَكْنَا We have destroyed مِن of قَرْيَةٍۭ a town بَطِرَتْ which exulted مَعِيشَتَهَا ۖ (in) its means of livelihood فَتِلْكَ And these مَسَـٰكِنُهُمْ (are) their dwellings لَمْ not تُسْكَن have been inhabited مِّنۢ after them بَعْدِهِمْ after them إِلَّا except قَلِيلًۭا ۖ a little وَكُنَّا And indeed, [We] نَحْنُ We ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ (are) the inheritors ٥٨
And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were the inheritors.
