In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], 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,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And eased thee of the burden
And removed from thee thy burden
And We removed from you your burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which weighed down thy back;
The which did gall thy back? -
Which had weighed upon your back
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And exalted thy fame ?
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
And raised high for you your repute.
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And strive to please thy Lord.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
