Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And taken off from you your burden,
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
And eased thee of the burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Allathee anqada thahraka
Which weighed down thy back;
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And exalted for you your esteem?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
And exalted thy fame ?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
Surely with difficulty is ease.
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
With difficulty is surely ease.
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when you are free, nominate.
Faitha faraghta fainsab
So when thou art relieved, still toil
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
Waila rabbika fairghab
And strive to please thy Lord.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
