wa rufiʿa ʿala l-qanāti raʾsuk
and your head was raised onto a spear.
وَ سُبِيَ أهْلُكَ كَالْعَبيدِ
wa subiya ahluka ka-l-ʿabīd
Your family were captured like slaves,
وَ صُفِّدُوا فِي الْحَديدِ فَوْقَ أقْتابِ الْمَطِيّاتِ
wa ṣuffidū fi l-ḥadīdi fawqa aqtābi l-maṭiyyāt
bound with iron chains atop camels,
تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمْ حَرُّ الْهاجِراتِ

with midday heat scorching their faces.
يُساقُونَ فِي الْبَراري وَ الْفَلَواتِ
yusāqūna fi l-barārī wa l-falawāt
They were driven across deserts and wastelands,
أيْديهِمْ مَغلُولَةٌ إلَى الأعْناقِ
aydīhim maghlūlatun ila l-aʿnāq
with their hands chained to their necks,
يُطافُ بِهِمْ فِي الأسْواقِ

and were paraded around the markets.
فَالْوَيْلُ لِلْعُصاةِ الْفُسّاقِ
fa-l-waylu li-l-ʿuṣāti l-fussāq
Woe be unto the wicked transgressors!
لَقَدْ قَتَلُوا بِقَتْلِكَ الإسْلامَ

wa ʿāda kitābu llāhi ʿazza wa jalla mahjūrā
the Book of Allah, the mighty and the majestic, was again abandoned,

وَالتَّحْريمُ وَ التَّحْليلُ، وَ التَّنْزيلُ وَ التَّأْويلُ
wa t-taḥrīmu wa t-taḥlīl, wa t-tanzīlu wa t-taʾwīl
His prohibitions, sanctions, revelation, and interpretation were lost.
وَ ظَهَرَ بَعْدَكَ التَّغْييرُ وَ التَّبْديلُ، وَ الإلْحادُ وَ التَّعْطيلُ، وَ الأهْواءُ وَ الأضاليلُ، وَ الْفِتَنُ وَ الأباطيلُ

After you, alteration, distortion, infidelity, abandonment (of the Islamic laws), vagary, misguidance, turmoil and falsehood became prevalent.

and adversity befell your family and your offspring.
فَانْزَعَجَ الرَّسُولُ، وَ بَكى قَلْبُهُ الْمَهُولُ
fa-nzaʿaja r-rasūl, wa bakā qalbuhu l-mahūl
Indeed, the Messenger (PBUH&HF) became distressed and his depressed heart wept,

and urged people to acknowledge him,
بِقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: «اَلَّذي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوباً عِنْدَهُمْ فِي التَّوْريةِ وَ الإنْجيلِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ يَنْهيهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ يُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّباتِ وَ يُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبائِثَ وَ يَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إصْرَهُمْ وَ الأغْلالَ الَّتي كانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ»
bi-qawlihi taʿālā: «alladhī yajidūnahu maktūban ʿindahum fi t-tawrāti wa l-injīli yaʾmuruhum bi-l-maʿrūfi wa yanhāhum ʿani l-munkari wa yuḥillu lahumu ṭ-ṭayyibāti wa yuḥarrimu ʿalayhimu l-khabāʾitha wa yaḍaʿu ʿanhum iṣrahum wa l-aghlāla llatī kānat ʿalayhim»

And when the time of death arrives, take our soul while it is in the best condition of obedience to You,
عَلى ما أمَرْتَنا مُحافِظينَ حَتّى تُؤَدِّيَنا إلى جَنّاتِ النَّعيمِ

bi-raḥmatika yā arḥama r-rāḥimīn
By Your mercy, O the most merciful of the merciful!
اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā muḥammadin wa āli muḥammad
My Allah! Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
وَ أوْحِشْني مِنَ الدُّنْيا
wa awḥishnī mina d-dunyā
and estrange me from (the attractions of) the world,
وَ آنِسْني بِالآخِرَةِ
wa ānisnī bi-l-ākhirah
and make me familiar with (the affairs of) the hereafter.
فَإنَّهُ لا يُوحِشُ مِنَ الدُّنْيا إلاّ خَوْفُكَ
fa-innahu lā yūḥishu mina d-dunyā illā khawfuk
Certainly, nothing causes alienation from this world except fear of You,
وَ لا يُؤْنِسُ بِالآخِرَةِ إلاّ رَجآؤُكَ
wa lā yuʾnisu bi-l-ākhirati illā rajāʾuk
and nothing causes to be accustomed to the hereafter except hope for Your (mercy).
اَللّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحُجَّةُ لا عَلَيْكَ
allāhumma laka l-ḥujjatu lā ʿalayk
O Allah! For You is the argument, not against You,
وَ إلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكى لا مِنْكَ
wa ilayka l-mushtakā lā mink
and to You is complained, not from You.
فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ
fa-ṣalli ʿalā muḥammadin wa ālih
Thus, bless Muhammad and his family,
وَ أعِنّي عَلى نَفْسِيَ الظّالِمَةِ الْعاصِيَةِ
wa aʿinnī ʿalā nafsiya ẓ-ẓālimati l-ʿāṣiyah

wa khtim lī bi-l-ʿāfiyah
And conclude me with a safe and healthy end.
اَللّهُمَّ إنَّ اسْتِغْفاري إيّاكَ وَ أنَا مُصِرٌّ عَلى ما نَهَيْتَ قِلَّةُ حَيآء
allāhumma inna stighfārī iyyāka wa ana muṣirrun ʿalā mā nahayta qillatu ḥayāʾ
O Allah! It is due to my shamelessness that I ask forgiveness while I insist on what You have forbidden.
وَ تَرْكِيَ الاِسْتِغْفارَ مَعَ عِلْمي بِسِعَةِ حِلْمِكَ تَضْييعٌ لِحَقِّ الرَّجآءِ
wa tarkiya l-istighfāra maʿa ʿilmī bi-saʿati ḥilmika taḍyīʿun li-ḥaqqi r-rajāʾ
On the other hand, if I do not ask for forgiveness with my knowledge of Your abundant forbearance, it will be wasting the right of hope (to You).
اَللّهُمَّ إنَّ ذُنُوبي تُؤْيِسُني أنْ أرْجُوَكَ
allāhumma inna dhunūbī tuʾyisunī an arjuwak
My Allah! (due to my weak faith) my sins discourage me from requesting You,
وَ إنَّ عِلْمي بِسِعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ يَمْنَعُني أنْ أخْشاكَ
wa inna ʿilmī bi-saʿati raḥmatika yamnaʿunī an akhshāk
and my knowledge about Your vast mercy prevents me from fearing You.
فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
fa-ṣalli ʿalā muḥammadin wa āli muḥammad
Thus, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
وَ صَدِّقْ رَجائي لَكَ
wa ṣaddiq rajāʾī lak
and confirm my hope in You,
وَ كَذِّبْ خَوْفي مِنْكَ
wa kadhdhib khawfī mink
negate my fear of You,
وَ كُنْ لي عِنْدَ أحْسَنِ ظَنّي بِكَ يا أكْرَمَ الأكْرَمينَ
wa kun lī ʿinda aḥsani ẓannī bika yā akrama l-akramīn
and be for me according to the best of what I expect and believe about You, O the most generous of the generous!
اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أيِّدْني بِالْعِصْمَةِ

O Allah! Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and support me by protection (from sins),
وَ أنْطِقْ لِساني بِالْحِكْمَةِ

Make my tongue speak wisdom,

وَ لا يَهُمُّ لِرِزْقِ غَدِهِ
wa lā yahummu li-rizqi ghadih
and do not worry about the sustenance of tomorrow.
اَللّهُمَّ إنَّ الْغَنِيَّ مَنِ اسْتَغْنى بِكَ وَ افْتَقَرَ إلَيْكَ
allāhumma inna l-ghaniyya mani staghnā bika wa ftaqara ilayk
O Allah! Certainly, rich is he who suffices himself with You and considers himself in need of You,
وَ الْفَقيرَ مَنِ اسْتَغْنى بِخَلْقِكَ عَنْكَ
wa l-faqīra mani staghnā bi-khalqika ʿank
and poor is he who feels that he can suffice himself through Your creation without You.
فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
fa-ṣalli ʿalā muḥammadin wa āli muḥammad
Thus, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
وَ أغْنِني عَنْ خَلْقِكَ بِكَ
wa aghninī ʿan khalqika bik
and suffice me from Your creation by Yourself,
وَ اجْعَلْني مِمَّنْ لا يَبْسُطُ كَفّاً إلاّ إلَيْكَ
wa jʿalnī mimman lā yabsuṭu kaffan illā ilayk
and put me amongst those who do not extend their hand except towards You.
اَللّهُمَّ إنَّ الشَّقِيَّ مَنْ قَنَطَ وَ أمامَهُ التَّوْبَةُ وَ وَرآءَهُ الرَّحْمَةُ
allāhumma inna sh-shaqiyya man qanaṭa wa amāmahu t-tawbatu wa warāʾahu r-raḥmah
My Allah! Certainly, wretched is he who despairs while repentance is placed before him and mercy is after him,
وَ إنْ كُنْتُ ضَعيفَ الْعَمَلِ فَإنّي في رَحْمَتِكَ قَوِيُّ الأمَلِ
wa in kuntu ḍaʿīfa l-ʿamali fa-innī fī raḥmatika qawiyyu l-amal
Even though I have been weak in action, I have strong hope in Your mercy,
فَهَبْ لي ضَعْفَ عَمَلي لِقُوَّةِ أمَلي
fa-hab lī ḍaʿfa ʿamalī li-quwwati amalī
Thus, forgive the weakness of my action in light of the strength of my hope.
اَللّهُمَّ إنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أنْ ما في عِبادِكَ مَنْ هُوَ أقْسى قَلْباً مِنّي وَ أعْظَمُ مِنّي ذَنْباً
allāhumma in kunta taʿlamu an mā fī ʿibādika man huwa aqsā qalban minnī wa aʿẓamu minnī dhanbā
O Allah! Even if You know there is no one amongst Your servants with harder heart and greater sins than mine,
فَإنّي أعْلَمُ أنَّهُ لا مَوْلى أعْظَمُ مِنْكَ طَوْلا
fa-innī aʿlamu annahu lā mawlā aʿẓamu minka ṭawlā
I certainly know that there is no master more generous than You,
وَ أوْسَعُ رَحْمَةً وَ عَفْواً
wa awsaʿu raḥmatan wa ʿafwā
with greater mercy and forgiveness.
فَيا مَنْ هُوَ أوْحَدُ في رَحْمَتِهِ
fa-yā man huwa awḥadu fī raḥmatih
Then, O He Who is unique in His mercy!
إغْفِرْ لِمَنْ لَيْسَ بِأوْحَدَ في خَطيئَتِهِ
ighfir li-man laysa bi-awḥada fī khaṭīʾatih
Forgive him, who is not unique in his mistakes.
اَللّهُمَّ إنَّكَ أمَرْتَنا فَعَصَيْنا
allāhumma innaka amartanā fa-ʿaṣaynā
O Allah! Certainly, You commanded us, but we have disobeyed,
وَ نَهَيْتَ فَمَا انْتَهَيْنا
wa nahayta fa-ma ntahaynā
forbade us, but we did not desist,
وَ ذَكَّرْتَ فَتَناسَيْنا
wa dhakkarta fa-tanāsaynā
reminded us, but we remained unmindful,
وَ بَصَّرْتَ فَتَعامَيْنا
wa baṣṣarta fa-taʿāmaynā
enlightened us, but we behaved blindly,
وَ حَذَّرْتَ فَتَعَدَّيْنا
wa ḥadhdharta fa-taʿaddaynā
and warned us, but we transgressed.
وَ ما كانَ ذلِكَ جَزآءَ إحْسانِكَ إلَيْنا
wa mā kāna dhālika jazāʾa iḥsānika ilaynā
This was not the repayment of Your kindness to us,
وَ أنْتَ أعْلَمُ بِما أعْلَنّا وَ أخْفَيْنا
wa anta aʿlamu bi-mā aʿlannā wa akhfaynā
and You know what we have disclosed and have concealed,
وَ أخْبَرُ بِما نَأْتي وَ ما أتَيْنا
wa akhbaru bi-mā naʾtī wa mā ataynā
and You are aware of what we will do and have done.

My Allah! We seek nearness to You by means of this truthful Imam,
وَ نَسْئَلُكَ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذي جَعَلْتَهُ لَهُ وَ لِجَدِّهِ رَسُولِكَ وَ لِأبَوَيْهِ عَلِيٍّ وَ فاطِمَةَ، أهْلِ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ

Certainly You are the generous one who grants abundantly,
وَ تَمْنَعُ مِنْ قُدْرَةٍ
wa tamnaʿu min qudrah
and holds back having power (to fulfill).
وَ نَحْنُ نَسْئَلُكَ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ ما يَكُونُ صَلاحاً لِلدُّنْيا وَ بَلاغاً لِلآخِرَةِ
wa naḥnu nasʾaluka mina r-rizqi mā yakūnu ṣalāḥan li-d-dunyā wa balāghan li-l-ākhirah
We request from You a livelihood that brings the goodness of this world and the pleasure of the hereafter,
اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā muḥammadin wa āli muḥammad
O Allah! Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
وَ اغْفِرْ لَنا وَ لِوالِدَيْنا
wa ghfir lanā wa li-wālidaynā
and forgive me, my parents,
وَ لِجَميعِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِناتِ
wa li-jamīʿi l-muʾminīna wa l-muʾmināt
all the believing men and women,
وَالْمُسْلِمينَ وَ الْمُسْلِماتِ
wa l-muslimīna wa l-muslimāt
and the submissive men and women,
الأحْياءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الأمْواتِ
al-aḥyāʾi minhum wa l-amwāt
the living of them and the dead.
وَ آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنا عَذابَ النّارِ
wa ātinā fi d-dunyā ḥasanatan wa fi l-ākhirati ḥasanatan wa qinā ʿadhāba n-nār
Give us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and shield us from the torment of the fire.
Finish the prayer and say the tasbīḥ of Lady Fāṭima. Then lay the side of your face on the ground and say forty times.
سُبْحانَ اللهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ للهِِ وَ لا إلهَ إلاَّ اللهُ وَ اللهُ أكْبَرُ
subḥāna llāhi wa l-ḥamdu li-llāhi wa lā ilāha illa llāhu wa llāhu akbar
Glory be to Allah! Praise be to Allah! There is no deity but Allah! Allah is greater (than being described).
Then ask Allah for protection, salvation and forgiveness, for success in good deeds, and to accept what you have done to come near to Him and for His sake.
زادَ اللهُ في شَرَفِكُمْ، وَ السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَ بَرَكاتُهُ
zāda llāhu fī sharafikum, wa s-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatu llāhi wa barakātuh
May Allah increase your honor. Peace be upon you, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings.
