Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And removed from thee thy burden
And eased thee of the burden
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
The which did gall thy back? -
Which weighed down thy back;
Allathee anqada thahraka
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
And exalted thy fame ?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Faitha faraghta fainsab
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
And strive to please thy Lord.
Waila rabbika fairghab
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
