وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَٰلِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ
Such is the grip of your Lord when He grips the towns while they are doing wrong. His grip is painful and severe.
اور تمہارے رب کی پکڑ ایسی ہی ہوتی ہے جب وہ کسی بستی کو اس حال میں پکڑتا ہے کہ وہ ظالم ہو، بے شک اس کی پکڑ دردناک اور سخت ہے۔
