بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
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
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
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
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
And taken off from you your burden,
And eased thee of the burden
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
Allathee anqada thahraka
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Which weighed down thy back;
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
And exalted for you your esteem?
And exalted thy fame ?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Surely with difficulty is ease.
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
With difficulty is surely ease.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
Faitha faraghta fainsab
So when you are free, nominate.
So when thou art relieved, still toil
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
Waila rabbika fairghab
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And strive to please thy Lord.
