أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ ١
Have We not expanded thee thy breast?-
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ ١
Have We not expanded thee thy breast?-
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَ ٢
And removed from thee thy burden
الَّذِي أَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ ٣
The which did gall thy back?-
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ ٤
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ٥
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ٦
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ ٧
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ ٨
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
