Greetings to one who does not return my greeting,
And who does not deem me worthy of speech.
وَماذاand what عَلَيهِupon him أَنto يُجيبَanswer مُسَلِّماًone offering a greeting
وَماذا عَلَيهِ أَن يُجيبَ مُسَلِّماً
وَلَيسَand is not يُقَضّىdischarged بِالسَلامِby a greeting ذِماميthe obligation owed to me
وَلَيسَ يُقَضّى بِالسَلامِ ذِمامي
And what would it cost him to answer one who greets him?
And a greeting does not discharge the obligation owed to me.
