أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ١

Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,

Alam nashrah laka sadrak

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ٢

And eased thee of the burden

WawadaAAna AAanka wizrak

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ٣

Which weighed down thy back;

Allathee anqada thahrak

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ٤

And exalted thy fame?

WarafaAAna laka thikrak

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا٥

But lo! with hardship goeth ease,

Fa-inna maAAa alAAusri yusra

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا٦

Lo! with hardship goeth ease;

Inna maAAa alAAusri yusra

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ٧

So when thou art relieved, still toil

Fa-itha faraghta fansab

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب٨

And strive to please thy Lord.

Wa-ila rabbika farghab
