ইনশিরাহ (উন্মুক্ত করা)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,

1 Have We not expanded for you your breast,

1 Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -

2 And eased thee of the burden

2 And taken off from you your burden,

2 And removed from thee thy burden

3 Which weighed down thy back;

3 Which pressed heavily upon your back,

3 The which did gall thy back? -

4 And exalted thy fame ?

4 And exalted for you your esteem?

4 And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?

5 But lo! with hardship goeth ease,

5 Surely with difficulty is ease.

5 So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:

6 Lo! with hardship goeth ease;

6 With difficulty is surely ease.

6 Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

7 So when thou art relieved, still toil

7 So when you are free, nominate.

7 Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,

8 And strive to please thy Lord.

8 And make your Lord your exclusive object.

8 And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
