بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
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,
Chapter 94, 8 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
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,
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And taken off from you your burden,
And eased thee of the burden
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Which weighed down thy back;
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And exalted for you your esteem?
And exalted thy fame ?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
فإن مع العسر يسرا
Surely with difficulty is ease.
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
إن مع العسر يسرا
With difficulty is surely ease.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
فإذا فرغت فانصب
So when you are free, nominate.
So when thou art relieved, still toil
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
وإلى ربك فارغب
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And strive to please thy Lord.
