In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
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,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And eased thee of the burden
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
And taken off from you your burden,
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which weighed down thy back;
Allathee anqada thahraka
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And exalted thy fame ?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
And exalted for you your esteem?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Surely with difficulty is ease.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
With difficulty is surely ease.
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Faitha faraghta fainsab
So when you are free, nominate.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And strive to please thy Lord.
Waila rabbika fairghab
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
