And how many a town (population) have We destroyed, which were thankless for its means of livelihood (disobeyed Allah, and His Messengers, by doing evil deeds and crimes)! And those are their dwellings, which have not been inhabited after them except a little. And verily! We have been the inheritors.
われは如何に多くの（安楽で裕福な）生活に有頂天になった町を，滅ぼしたことであろうか。それ以来，かれらの居所には，（至極）僅かな人びとを除き住む者もない。（結局）われが，それらの相続者である。
