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,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And taken off from you your burden,
And eased thee of the burden
And removed from thee thy burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Which weighed down thy back;
The which did gall thy back? -
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And exalted for you your esteem?
And exalted thy fame ?
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
Surely with difficulty is ease.
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
With difficulty is surely ease.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when you are free, nominate.
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And strive to please thy Lord.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
