1. أُنَاسٌ أَعْرَضُوا عَنَّا

    بِلاَ جُرْمٍ وَلاَ مَعْنَى

    Some people turned away from us,

    through no fault of ours and for no reason.

  2. أَسَاءُوا ظَنَّهُمْ فِيْنَا

    فَهَلاَّ أَحْسَنُوا الظَّنَّا

    They thought ill of us;

    so why did they not think well?

  3. وَخَلَّوْنَا وَلَوْ شَاءُوا

    لَكَانُوا كَالَّذِي كُنَّا

    And they left us; had they wished,

    they would have been as we were.

  4. فَإِنْ عَادُوا لَنَا عُدْنَا

    وَإِنْ خَانُوا فَمَا خُنَّا

    So if they return to us, we shall return;

    and if they betray us, we have not betrayed them.

  5. وَإِنْ كَانُوا قَدِ اسْتَغْنُوا

    فَإِنَّا عَنْهُمُ أَغْنَى

    And if they have no need of us,

    then we have even less need of them.
