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
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?

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

And eased thee of the burden
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And We removed from you your burden
Which weighed down thy back;
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Which had weighed upon your back
And exalted thy fame ?
ورفعنا لك ذكرك

But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
فإن مع العسر يسرا
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
إن مع العسر يسرا

So when thou art relieved, still toil
فإذا فرغت فانصب

And strive to please thy Lord.
وإلى ربك فارغب
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
