Alam nashrah laka sadrak

Wa raf 'ana laka zikrak
And [have We not] raised thee high in dignity?
Fa inna ma'al usri yusra
And, behold, with every hardship comes ease:
Inna ma'al 'usri yusra

Fa iza faragh ta fansab
Hence, when thou art freed [from distress], remain steadfast,
Wa ilaa rabbika far ghab
and unto thy Sustainer turn with love.
