وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ اَيْقَاظًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌۗ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَم۪ينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِۗ وَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَص۪يدِۜ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا ١٨

English Translation
18You would have thought them awake, though they were asleep. We turned them now onto the right side, now onto the left. Their dog lay at the entrance of the cave with its forelegs stretched out. Had you seen them, you would certainly have fled from them, and a shudder would have run through you.
