Arabic

لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِيْبًا وَّسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَّاتَّبَعُوْكَ وَلٰكِنْۢ بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُۗ وَسَيَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَوِ اسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْۚ يُهْلِكُوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْۚ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٤٢

Transliteration

Lau kāna ‘aroḍon qorībaw wa safaron qōṣidal lattaba‘ūka wa lākim ba‘udat ‘alaihimusy-syuqqoh, wa sayaḥlifūna billāhi lawistaṭo‘nā lakhorojnā ma‘akum, yuhlikūna anfusahum, wallāhu ya‘lamu innahum lakāżibūn

Meaning

Had the gain been immediate, and the journey shorter, they would have followed you; but the distance seemed too long for them. Still they swear by Allah: “Had we been able, we would have marched out with you.” They damn their own souls, and Allah knows that they are lying.
