أَلَمۡ نَشۡرَحۡ لَكَ صَدۡرَكَ
١
Have We not opened your breast for you
(O Muhammad ﷺ)?
(1)
وَوَضَعۡنَا عَنكَ وِزۡرَكَ
٢
And removed from you your burden,
(2)
ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهۡرَكَ
٣
Which weighed down your back?
(3)
وَرَفَعۡنَا لَكَ ذِكۡرَكَ
٤
And raised high your fame?
(4)
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرًا
٥
So verily, with the hardship, there is relief,
(5)
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرٗا
٦
Verily, with the hardship, there is relief
(i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).
(6)
فَإِذَا فَرَغۡتَ فَٱنصَبۡ
٧
So when you have finished
(from your occupation), then stand up for Allah's worship
(i.e. stand up for prayer).
(7)
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرۡغَب
٨
And to your Lord
(Alone) turn
(all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations.
(8)
