Ash-Sharh

alam nashraḥ laka ṣadraka

Did We not relieve your heart for you [Prophet],

wawaḍaʿnā ʿanka wiz'raka

and remove the burden

alladhī anqaḍa ẓahraka

that weighed so heavily on your back,

warafaʿnā laka dhik'raka

and raise your reputation high?

fa-inna maʿa l-ʿus'ri yus'ran

So truly where there is hardship there is also ease;

inna maʿa l-ʿus'ri yus'ran

truly where there is hardship there is also ease.

fa-idhā faraghta fa-inṣab

The moment you are freed [of one task] work on,

wa-ilā rabbika fa-ir'ghab

and turn to your Lord for everything.
