ইনশিরাহ (উন্মুক্ত করা)

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

1 Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?

1 Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -

2 And eased thee of the burden

2 And We removed from you your burden

2 And removed from thee thy burden

3 Which weighed down thy back;

3 Which had weighed upon your back

3 The which did gall thy back? -

4 And exalted thy fame ?

4 And raised high for you your repute.

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

5 But lo! with hardship goeth ease,

5 For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

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

6 Lo! with hardship goeth ease;

6 Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

6 Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

7 So when thou art relieved, still toil

7 So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].

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

8 And strive to please thy Lord.

8 And to your Lord direct [your] longing.

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