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