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