1. People turned away from us
With no fault or meaning
١. أُنَاسٌ أَعْرَضُوا عَنَّا
بِلاَ جُرْمٍ وَلاَ مَعْنَى
2. They mistook their judgment of us
Why did they not think well of us
٢. أَسَاءُوا ظَنَّهُمْ فِيْنَا
فَهَلاَّ أَحْسَنُوا الظَّنَّا
3. And left us, though if they wished
They would have been as we were
٣. وَخَلَّوْنَا وَلَوْ شَاءُوا
لَكَانُوا كَالَّذِي كُنَّا
4. If they return to us, we'll return
If they betray, we did not betray
٤. فَإِنْ عَادُوا لَنَا عُدْنَا
وَإِنْ خَانُوا فَمَا خُنَّا
5. If they became self-sufficient
We are more self-sufficient than them
٥. وَإِنْ كَانُوا قَدِ اسْتَغْنُوا
فَإِنَّا عَنْهُمُ أَغْنَى
