Have they not travelled through the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than them and mightier in strength, and in the traces (they have left behind them) in the land, yet all that they used to earn availed them not.
آيا در زمين سير نكرده‌اند تا بنگرند كه عاقبت كسانى كه پيش از آنها مى‌آيسته‌اند چگونه بوده است؟ مردمى كه نيرويشان بيشتر و آثارشان در روى زمين فراوان‌تر بود. پس آن چيزها كه به دست مى آوردند سودشان نبخشيد.
