أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
HAVE WE NOT opened up thy heart,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
HAVE WE NOT opened up thy heart,
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
and lifted from thee the burden
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
that had weighed so heavily on thy back?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
And [have We not] raised thee high in dignity?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
And, behold, with every hardship comes ease:
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًۭا
verily, with every hardship comes ease!
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
Hence, when thou art freed [from distress], remain steadfast,
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
and unto thy Sustainer turn with love.
