بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
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,
Chapter 94, 8 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
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,
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
And eased thee of the burden
And taken off from you your burden,
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
Which weighed down thy back;
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
And exalted thy fame ?
And exalted for you your esteem?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Surely with difficulty is ease.
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
With difficulty is surely ease.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
So when thou art relieved, still toil
So when you are free, nominate.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
And strive to please thy Lord.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
