In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And removed from you your burden.
And taken off from you your burden,
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which weighed down your back?
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Allathee anqada thahraka
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And have We not raised high your fame?
And exalted for you your esteem?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
Verily, along with every hardship is relief,
Surely with difficulty is ease.
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Verily, along with every hardship is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).
With difficulty is surely ease.
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah's worship.
So when you are free, nominate.
Faitha faraghta fainsab
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
Waila rabbika fairghab
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
