بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك

Which had weighed upon your back
Which weighed down thy back;
الذي أنقض ظهرك

And raised high for you your repute.
And exalted thy fame ?

So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
So when thou art relieved, still toil
فإذا فرغت فانصب

And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
And strive to please thy Lord.
وإلى ربك فارغب
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
