Pickthall
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Shakir
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Yusuf Ali
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Pickthall
And eased thee of the burden
Shakir
And taken off from you your burden,
Yusuf Ali
And removed from thee thy burden
Pickthall
Which weighed down thy back;
Shakir
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Yusuf Ali
The which did gall thy back? -
Pickthall
And exalted thy fame ?
Shakir
And exalted for you your esteem?
Yusuf Ali
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
Pickthall
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Shakir
Surely with difficulty is ease.
Yusuf Ali
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
Pickthall
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Shakir
With difficulty is surely ease.
Yusuf Ali
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Pickthall
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Shakir
So when you are free, nominate.
Yusuf Ali
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
Pickthall
And strive to please thy Lord.
Shakir
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
Yusuf Ali
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
