بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Chapter 94, 8 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And removed from thee thy burden
And eased thee of the burden
الذي أنقض ظهرك
The which did gall thy back? -
Which weighed down thy back;
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
And exalted thy fame ?
فإن مع العسر يسرا
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
إن مع العسر يسرا
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
فإذا فرغت فانصب
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
So when thou art relieved, still toil
وإلى ربك فارغب
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
And strive to please thy Lord.
