Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ 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,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And removed from thee thy burden
And eased thee of the burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
The which did gall thy back? -
Which weighed down thy back;
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
And exalted thy fame ?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
So when thou art relieved, still toil
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
And strive to please thy Lord.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
