In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
And eased thee of the burden
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
And removed from thee thy burden
Which weighed down thy back;
Allathee anqada thahraka
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
The which did gall thy back? -
And exalted thy fame ?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Faitha faraghta fainsab
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
And strive to please thy Lord.
Waila rabbika fairghab
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
