بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ

Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))?

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَ

And removed from you your burden,

الَّذِي أَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ

Which weighed down your back?

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

And raised high your fame?

فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

So verily, with the hardship, there is relief,

إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ

So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allah's worship (i.e. stand up for prayer).

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ

And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations.
