of Moses

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِى

Moses said, ‘Lord, lift up my heart

وَيَسِّرْ لِىٓ أَمْرِى

and ease my task for me.

وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِى

Untie my tongue,

يَفْقَهُوا۟ قَوْلِى

so that they may understand my words,

وَٱجْعَل لِّى وَزِيرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِى

and give me a helper from my family,

هَـٰرُونَ أَخِى

my brother Aaron-

ٱشْدُدْ بِهِۦٓ أَزْرِى

augment my strength through him.

وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِىٓ أَمْرِى

Let him share my task

كَىْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًا

so that we can glorify You much

وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا

and remember You often:

إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًا

You are always watching over us.’
