بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ

ووضعنا عنك وزرك
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
And We removed from you your burden
And removed from thee thy burden
الذي أنقض ظهرك
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
Which had weighed upon your back
The which did gall thy back? -
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
And raised high for you your repute.
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
فإن مع العسر يسرا
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
إن مع العسر يسرا
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
فإذا فرغت فانصب
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
وإلى ربك فارغب
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
