وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَ

and lifted from thee the burden (2)

الَّذِي أَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ

that had weighed so heavily on thy back? (3)

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

And [have We not] raised thee high in dignity? (4)

فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

And, behold, with every hardship comes ease: (5)

إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

verily, with every hardship comes ease! (6)

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ

Hence, when thou art freed [from distress], remain steadfast, (7)

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ

and unto thy Sustainer turn with love. (8)
