23:41

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ غُثَآءً ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣayḥatu bil-ḥaqi fajaʿalnāhum ghuthāan fabuʿ'dan lil'qawmi l-ẓālimīna

So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

— Saheeh International

The blast justly struck them and We swept them away like scum. Away with the evildoers!

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them in truth (with justice), and We made them as rubbish of dead plants. So away with the people who are Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, disobedient to His Messengers).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
