How many cities, which were unjust because of their disbelief, I destroyed with obliterating punishment.
Their homes are ruined and empty of inhabitants.
How many wells are there which have nobody to drink from them, due to their being destroyed.
How many lofty decorated palaces are there which could not save their residents from the punishment.
