Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And removed from thee thy burden
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And eased thee of the burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
The which did gall thy back? -
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Which weighed down thy back;
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And exalted thy fame ?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
فإن مع العسر يسرا
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
إن مع العسر يسرا
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
فإذا فرغت فانصب
So when thou art relieved, still toil
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
وإلى ربك فارغب
And strive to please thy Lord.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
