Chapter 94, 8 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And removed from thee thy burden
And taken off from you your burden,
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
الذي أنقض ظهرك
The which did gall thy back? -
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
And exalted for you your esteem?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
فإن مع العسر يسرا
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
Surely with difficulty is ease.
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
إن مع العسر يسرا
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
With difficulty is surely ease.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
فإذا فرغت فانصب
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
So when you are free, nominate.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
وإلى ربك فارغب
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
