Ash-Sharh

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ

Alam nashrah laka sadrak

HAVE WE NOT opened up thy heart,

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ

Wa wa d'ana 'anka wizrak

and lifted from thee the burden

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ

Allazee anqada zahrak

that had weighed so heavily on thy back?

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

Wa raf 'ana laka zikrak

And [have We not] raised thee high in dignity?

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

Fa inna ma'al usri yusra

And, behold, with every hardship comes ease:

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًۭا

Inna ma'al 'usri yusra

verily, with every hardship comes ease!

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ

Fa iza faragh ta fansab

Hence, when thou art freed [from distress], remain steadfast,

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب

Wa ilaa rabbika far ghab

and unto thy Sustainer turn with love.
