In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Chapter 94, 8 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
And eased thee of the burden
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
Which weighed down thy back;
Allathee anqada thahraka
الذي أنقض ظهرك
And exalted thy fame ?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
فإن مع العسر يسرا
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
إن مع العسر يسرا
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Faitha faraghta fainsab
فإذا فرغت فانصب
And strive to please thy Lord.
Waila rabbika fairghab
وإلى ربك فارغب
