بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And removed from you your burden.
And taken off from you your burden,
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Which weighed down your back?
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And have We not raised high your fame?
And exalted for you your esteem?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
فإن مع العسر يسرا
Verily, along with every hardship is relief,
Surely with difficulty is ease.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
إن مع العسر يسرا
Verily, along with every hardship is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).
With difficulty is surely ease.
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
فإذا فرغت فانصب
So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah's worship.
So when you are free, nominate.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
وإلى ربك فارغب
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
