In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And eased thee of the burden
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And taken off from you your burden,
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which weighed down thy back;
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And exalted thy fame ?
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And exalted for you your esteem?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
فإن مع العسر يسرا
Surely with difficulty is ease.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
إن مع العسر يسرا
With difficulty is surely ease.
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when thou art relieved, still toil
فإذا فرغت فانصب
So when you are free, nominate.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And strive to please thy Lord.
وإلى ربك فارغب
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
