Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ

Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And We removed from you your burden
And eased thee of the burden
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which had weighed upon your back
Which weighed down thy back;
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Allathee anqada thahraka
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And raised high for you your repute.
And exalted thy fame ?
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
فإن مع العسر يسرا
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
إن مع العسر يسرا
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
So when thou art relieved, still toil
فإذا فرغت فانصب
Faitha faraghta fainsab
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
And strive to please thy Lord.
وإلى ربك فارغب
Waila rabbika fairghab
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
