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

Which had weighed upon your back

And exalted thy fame ?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka

For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran

So when thou art relieved, still toil

And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
And strive to please thy Lord.
