أَلَمۡ نَشۡرَحۡ لَكَ صَدۡرَكَ﴿١﴾

وَوَضَعۡنَا عَنكَ وِزۡرَكَ﴿٢﴾

And We removed from you your burden[1]

ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهۡرَكَ﴿٣﴾

Which had weighed upon your back

وَرَفَعۡنَا لَكَ ذِكۡرَكَ﴿٤﴾

And raised high for you your repute.

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرًا﴿٥﴾

For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease [i.e., relief].

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرٗا﴿٦﴾

Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

فَإِذَا فَرَغۡتَ فَٱنصَبۡ﴿٧﴾

So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرۡغَب﴿٨﴾

And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
