Ash-Sharh

أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ ١

Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ ٢

And eased thee of the burden

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ ٣

Which weighed down thy back;

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ ٤

And exalted thy fame?

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ٥

But lo! with hardship goeth ease,

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ٦

Lo! with hardship goeth ease;

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ ٧

So when thou art relieved, still toil

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب ٨

And strive to please thy Lord.
