You won't get sharp text if you apply this kind of deformation to bitmaps. You have to work at the path level. I don't know any lens distortion filter for paths, but you could try some envelope distortion, either using SaullGoode's warped text or using Inkskape and the "envelope distortion" path effect.
As a last resort, if the text isn't too complex, use "Apply lens" and retrace a path from it, from which you regenerate clean text.
