The second day their faces turned bright red,
the third day their faces were blackened as if they were dead.
When the sun rose a heavenly shout filled the air
the earth shook, trembled violently out of fear.
One by one their souls were snatched in a very harsh way
and the Everlasting punishment began for them that day.
The city was as if no one had lived there
homes were destroyed – everything lay bare
Salih had indeed conveyed the warning
and Thamood no longer stood after that morning.
