Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
And removed from thee thy burden
And taken off from you your burden,
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
And eased thee of the burden
The which did gall thy back? -
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Allathee anqada thahraka
Which weighed down thy back;
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
And exalted for you your esteem?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
And exalted thy fame ?
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
Surely with difficulty is ease.
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
With difficulty is surely ease.
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
So when you are free, nominate.
Faitha faraghta fainsab
So when thou art relieved, still toil
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
Waila rabbika fairghab
And strive to please thy Lord.
