Chapter 94, 8 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And taken off from you your burden,
And removed from thee thy burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
The which did gall thy back? -
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And exalted for you your esteem?
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
فإن مع العسر يسرا
Surely with difficulty is ease.
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
إن مع العسر يسرا
With difficulty is surely ease.
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
فإذا فرغت فانصب
So when you are free, nominate.
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
وإلى ربك فارغب
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
