So those are their houses, desolate because of the wrong they had done. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know.

As a result of their evil deeds, their homes are desolate ruins- there truly is a sign in this for those who know-

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

These are their houses in utter ruin, for they did wrong. Verily, in this is indeed an Ayâh (a lesson or a sign) for people who know.
