Have We not expanded for you your breast,

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded for you your breast,

And taken off from you your burden,
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
And removed from thee thy burden
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Allathee anqada thahraka
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
The which did gall thy back? -
And exalted for you your esteem?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
Surely with difficulty is ease.
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
With difficulty is surely ease.

So when you are free, nominate.

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
