بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَ
and removed your burden
الَّذِي أَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
that weighed so heavily on your back, and
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
have We not given you high renown?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So, surely with every hardship there is ease;
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
surely, with every hardship there is ease.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ
So, when you are free, strive hard,
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ
and to your Lord turn [all] your attention.
