| أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ (1) Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) |
| وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ (2) And removed from you your burden |
| الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ (3) Which weighed down your back |
| وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ (4) And raised high your fame |
| فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (5) So verily, with the hardship, there is relief |
| إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (6) 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 فَانصَبْ (7) So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allah's worship (i.e. stand up for prayer) |
| وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب (8) And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations |
