Ash-Sharh — English Translation

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ ﴿1﴾

Have We not lifted up your heart,

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ ﴿2﴾

and removed your burden

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ ﴿3﴾

that weighed so heavily on your back, and

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ ﴿4﴾

have We not given you high renown?

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿5﴾

So, surely with every hardship there is ease;

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًۭا ﴿6﴾

surely, with every hardship there is ease.

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ ﴿7﴾

So, when you are free, strive hard,

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب ﴿8﴾

and to your Lord turn [all] your attention.
