Ash-Sharh

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ

Did We not expand thy breast for thee

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَ

and lift from thee thy burden,

الَّذِي أَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ

the burden that weighed down thy back?

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

Did We not exalt thy fame?

فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

So truly with hardship comes ease,

إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

truly with hardship comes ease.'

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ

So when thou art empty, labour,

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ

and let thy Lord be thy Quest.
