In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Chapter 94, 8 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
And eased thee of the burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And removed from thee thy burden
Which weighed down thy back;
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
الذي أنقض ظهرك
The which did gall thy back? -
And exalted thy fame ?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
فإن مع العسر يسرا
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
إن مع العسر يسرا
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
So when thou art relieved, still toil
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
فإذا فرغت فانصب
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
And strive to please thy Lord.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
وإلى ربك فارغب
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
