الشرح Ash-Sharh · The Consolation

Text

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 1

   أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ

   Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,

2. 2

   وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ

   And eased thee of the burden

3. 3

   ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ

   Which weighed down thy back;

4. 4

   وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

   And exalted thy fame?

5. 5

   فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

   But lo! with hardship goeth ease,

6. 6

   إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

   Lo! with hardship goeth ease;

7. 7

   فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ

   So when thou art relieved, still toil

8. 8

   وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب

   And strive to please thy Lord.
