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 thee thy 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 thee thy breast? -
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
And eased thee of the burden
And removed from thee thy burden
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
Which weighed down thy back;
The which did gall thy back? -
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
And exalted thy fame ?
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
And strive to please thy Lord.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
