Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And removed from thee thy burden
And taken off from you your burden,
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
The which did gall thy back? -
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
And exalted for you your esteem?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

Surely with difficulty is ease.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
With difficulty is surely ease.
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
So when you are free, nominate.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
