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,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
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,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And eased thee of the burden
And taken off from you your burden,
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which weighed down thy back;
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Allathee anqada thahraka
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And exalted thy fame ?
And exalted for you your esteem?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Surely with difficulty is ease.
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
With difficulty is surely ease.
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when thou art relieved, still toil
So when you are free, nominate.
Faitha faraghta fainsab
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And strive to please thy Lord.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
Waila rabbika fairghab
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
