And if thou [must] turn aside from those [that are in want, because thou thyself art] seeking to obtain thy Sustainer's grace and hoping for it, at least speak unto them with gentle speech.

And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness.

But if thou turn away from them, seeking mercy from thy Lord, for which thou hopest, then speak unto them a reasonable word.

And if thou turn away from them to seek mercy from thy Lord, which thou hopest for, speak to them a gentle word.

And if you [must] turn away from the needy awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word.
