In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-Raḥīm
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Peace be upon you, O trusted guardian, appointed by Allah, to administer His earth, and to convince the mankind to accept His plan. Peace be upon you, O Commander of the Faithful.
As-salāmu ‘alayka yā waṣiyya ar-Rasūl, wa khalīfata Allāhi fī al-arḍ, wa ad-dā‘iya ilā khuttatih. As-salāmu ‘alayka yā Amīra al-mu’minīn.
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَصِيَّ الرَّسُولِ، وَخَلِيفَةَ اللَّهِ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَالدَّاعِيَ إِلَى خُطَّتِهِ. السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.
I testify that you made utmost efforts, as it should be, in the cause of Allah, acted upon His Book, followed the way of life of His Prophet, (blessings of Allah be upon him and upon his Household), to the last moment of your life, until Allah invited you to come unto Him, and used His discretion to take you away, and sealed your enemies' doom with the blame that the arguments had been made known to one and all through you.
Ashhadu annaka jāhadta fī sabīli Allāhi ḥaqqa jihādih, wa ‘amilta bi-kitābih, wattaba‘ta sunnata nabiyyih (ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa ‘alā ālih), ḥattā da‘āka Allāhu ilayh, fa-khtāraka li-jiwārih, wa khatama bika ‘alā ‘aduwwika bi-l-khizyi wa al-wizr.
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ، وَعَمِلْتَ بِكِتَابِهِ، وَاتَّبَعْتَ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِ (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ)، حَتَّى دَعَاكَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ، فَاخْتَارَكَ لِجِوَارِهِ، وَخَتَمَ بِكَ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ بِالْخِزْيِ وَالْوِزْرِ.
O Allah let me be happy and satisfied with that which You consider good for me, let me agree with that which You decide for me, let me passionately remember You, and invoke You, let me be in love with Your pure and sincere friends, let me be well-liked and respected on the earth, and in the heavens, let me be unruffled and well-composed amidst misfortunes, let me be gratefully thankful in prosperity, let me be mindful of much and more bounties, let me, ardently, desire for the heartwarming meeting with You; well-equipped with piety to gain my end on the Day of Requital, let me follow into the footsteps of Your representatives, let me disassociate myself from the manners of Your enemies, preoccupied from this world, by praising and glorifying You.
Allāhumma-j‘alnī min as-su‘adā’i bimā raḍīta lī, wa-j‘alnī mutayaqqinan bimā qaḍayta ‘alayya, wa-j‘alnī dhākiran laka, dā‘iyan ilayka, muḥibban li-awliyā’ika aṣ-ṣāliḥīn, maḥbūban fī al-arḍi wa as-samā’, ṣabūran ‘alā al-balā’, shakūran fī ar-rakhā’, dhākiran li-ni‘amika al-kathīrah, mushtāqan li-liqā’ik, mutazawwidan bi-taqwā li-yawm al-wa‘īd, muttabi‘an li-sunan ḥujajik, mubghidan li-a‘dā’ik, mashghūlan bi-ḥamdika wa tasbīḥik.
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ السُّعَدَاءِ بِمَا رَضِيتَ لِي، وَاجْعَلْنِي مُتَيَقِّنًا بِمَا قَضَيْتَ عَلَيَّ، وَاجْعَلْنِي ذَاكِرًا لَكَ، دَاعِيًا إِلَيْكَ، مُحِبًّا لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ، مَحْبُوبًا فِي الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ، صَبُورًا عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ، شَكُورًا فِي الرَّخَاءِ، ذَاكِرًا لِنَعْمَائِكَ الْكَثِيرَةِ، مُشْتَاقًا لِلِقَائِكَ، مُتَزَوِّدًا بِالتَّقْوَى لِيَوْمِ الْوَعِيدِ، مُتَّبِعًا لِسُنَنِ حُجَجِكَ، مُبْغِضًا لِأَعْدَائِكَ، مَشْغُولًا بِحَمْدِكَ وَتَسْبِيحِكَ.
(Then, you head towards Allah, the Most High, the Most Exalted, and say):
(Thumma tatawajjahu ilā Allāhi 'azza wa jalla fa-taqūlu):
)ثُمَّ تَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَتَقُولُ:(
O Allah, verily, the hearts of those who surrender to You, are full of passionate love, the path of those, who long for You, is the straight (true) road, the instructions given by those, who lean on You, are distinct and precise, the minds of those, who are aware of Your reality, are filled with awe and reverence, the call of those, who invite unto You, is loud and clear, and the doors of approval are kept open for them; who so submits his supplication to You receives a favorable answer, whose repentance unto You is accepted, whoso bursts into tears in fear of Your punishment obtains mercy, whoso seeks redress from You finds the required assistance at his disposal, whoso asks for Your help procures the aid as a gift. Your promise made with Your servants is fulfilled; whoso asks for pardon of his errors finds them reduced to nothing, who so does everything for Your sake discovers that each and every deed has been preserved. The means of livelihood available to the created beings come from You like a rainfall, and in addition many recurring favors and bounties reach them in regular successions, the sins of those, who ask for forgiveness, are overlooked, the wants and needs of all that which has been created by You are properly satisfied, those who put forward genuine demands get more than they ask for, one after the other, again and again; for the hungry wholesome food is arranged, for the thirsty clean water is available in abundance.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ قُلُوبَ الْخَاشِعِينَ لَكَ وَالِهَةٌ، وَسُبُلَ الرَّاغِبِينَ إِلَيْكَ قَاصِدَةٌ، وَمَوَاعِظَ الْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ وَاضِحَةٌ، وَعُقُولَ الْعَارِفِينَ بِكَ خَاشِعَةٌ، وَدَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِينَ إِلَيْكَ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ، وَأَبْوَابَ الْإِجَابَةِ لَهُمْ مَفْتُوحَةٌ؛ مَنْ خَضَعَ لَكَ بِدُعَائِهِ أُجِيبَ، وَمَنْ تَابَ إِلَيْكَ قُبِلَ، وَمَنْ بَكَى مِنْ خَوْفِ عَذَابِكَ رُحِمَ، وَمَنِ اسْتَعَانَ بِكَ وُفِّقَ، وَمَنْ سَأَلَكَ أُعْطِيَ. وَعْدُكَ لِعِبَادِكَ مَصْدُوقٌ، وَمَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَكَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ غُفِرَ لَهُ، وَمَنْ عَمِلَ لَكَ وُفِّقَ وَحُفِظَ. الرِّزْقُ مَقْسُومٌ، وَالْفَضْلُ مُبَاذِلٌ، وَالذُّنُوبُ مَغْفُورَةٌ، وَالْحَوَائِجُ مَقْضِيَّةٌ، وَالْمَسَائِلُ مُتَتَابِعَةٌ، وَالْجَائِعُ مُطْعَمٌ، وَالظَّمْآنُ مَرْوِيٌّ.
O Allah give favorable answer to my prayer, acknowledge the praise I chant in worship, let there be peace and harmony between me and my friends, for the sake of Muhammad, Ali, Fatimah, Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein; verily, You are my Benefactor Who provides with bounties, the aim of my desires, the ultimate destination of my hopes, in my future life, and during this short life.

اللَّهُمَّ اسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي، وَاقْبَلْ ثَنَائِي، وَأَلِّفْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَحِبَّائِي، بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلِيٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ؛ إِنَّكَ وَلِيُّ نِعْمَتِي، وَمَقْصُودُ رَغْبَتِي، وَمُنْتَهَى أَمَلِي فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَالدُّنْيَا.
