ইনশিরাহ (উন্মুক্ত করা)

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

1 Alam nashrah laka sadraka

1 Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -

2 And eased thee of the burden

2 WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka

2 And removed from thee thy burden

3 Which weighed down thy back;

3 Allathee anqada thahraka

3 The which did gall thy back? -

4 And exalted thy fame ?

4 WarafaAAna laka thikraka

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

5 But lo! with hardship goeth ease,

5 Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran

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

6 Lo! with hardship goeth ease;

6 Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran

6 Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

7 So when thou art relieved, still toil

7 Faitha faraghta fainsab

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

8 And strive to please thy Lord.

8 Waila rabbika fairghab

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