In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
Chapter 94, 8 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
And eased thee of the burden
And We removed from you your burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
Which weighed down thy back;
Which had weighed upon your back
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
Allathee anqada thahraka
And exalted thy fame ?
And raised high for you your repute.
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
So when thou art relieved, still toil
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
Faitha faraghta fainsab
And strive to please thy Lord.
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
