In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
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 for you your breast,
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ

And taken off from you your burden,

الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
Which weighed down thy back;
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
And exalted thy fame ?
And exalted for you your esteem?

Surely with difficulty is ease.

With difficulty is surely ease.

So when you are free, nominate.

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب

And make your Lord your exclusive object.
