إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
Irama tha ti alAAim a d i
[the people of] Iram the many-pillared,
  - Mohammad Asad
The residents of Iram, the city of lofty pillars,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'the people' of Iram- with 'their' great stature,
  - Mustafa Khattab
With many-columned Iram,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Of the (city of) Iram with lofty pillars 6114
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Iram would seem to have been an ancient 'Ad capital, in southern Arabia. It boasted of lofty architecture ("lofty pillars"). Some Commentators understand Iram to be the name of an eponymous hero of the 'Ad, in which case the following line, "with lofty pillars", should be construed "of lofty stature". The 'Ad were a tall race.
