Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And taken off from you your burden,
And removed from thee thy burden
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
The which did gall thy back? -
Allathee anqada thahraka
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And exalted for you your esteem?
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
Surely with difficulty is ease.
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
With difficulty is surely ease.
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when you are free, nominate.
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
Faitha faraghta fainsab
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
Waila rabbika fairghab
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
