بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ

Have We not expanded for you your breast,

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ

And taken off from you your burden,

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ

Which pressed heavily upon your back,

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

And exalted for you your esteem?

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

Surely with difficulty is ease.

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

With difficulty is surely ease.

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ

So when you are free, nominate.

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب

And make your Lord your exclusive object.
