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