Have We not expanded thee thy breast?-
1أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And removed from thee thy burden
2وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which did gall thy back?-
3الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
4وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
5فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
6إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
7فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
8وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
