Have We not expanded for you your breast,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And taken off from you your burden,
And eased thee of the burden
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Which weighed down thy back;
الذي أنقض ظهرك
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And exalted for you your esteem?
And exalted thy fame ?
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
Surely with difficulty is ease.
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
فإن مع العسر يسرا
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
With difficulty is surely ease.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
إن مع العسر يسرا
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when you are free, nominate.
So when thou art relieved, still toil
فإذا فرغت فانصب
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And strive to please thy Lord.
وإلى ربك فارغب
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
