Surah Ash-Sharh
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismillāhi ar-Raḥmāni ar-Raḥīm
1. أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Alam nashraḥ laka ṣadrak
Did We not expand for you your chest?
2. وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Wa waḍa‘nā ‘anka wizrak
And We removed from you your burden,
3. ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
Alladhī anqaḍa ẓahrak
Which had weighed so heavily on your back,
4. وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
Wa rafa‘nā laka dhikrak
And raised high your reputation for you.
5. فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Fa inna ma‘al ‘usri yusra
So surely with hardship comes ease,
6. إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Inna ma‘al ‘usri yusra
Indeed, with hardship comes ease.
7. فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
Fa idhā faraghta fa anṣab
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship],
8. وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
Wa ilā rabbika farghab
And to your Lord direct your longing.
There We Means Allah.
