Peace be on you, O son of the Commander of the Faithful, and son of the master of the successors!

Peace be on you and on those souls who gathered in your courtyard.

May the peace of Allah be upon all of you from me forever, for as long as I live and as long as night and day endure.
يَا أَبَاعَبْدِاللهِ، لَقَدْ عَظُمَتِ الرَّزِيَّةُ وَجَلَّتْ وَعَظُمَتِ الْـمُصِيبَةُ
O Abu Abdullah! Unbearable is the sorrow, and immense and overwhelming is the tragedy
بِكَ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلىٰ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ الاِسْلامِ
that befell us and all the people of Islam because of you.
وَجَلَّتْ وَعَظُمَتْ مُصِيبَتُكَ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ عَلىٰ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ السَّمٰوَاتِ
And immense and overwhelming was your tragedy in the heavens for all the dwellers of the heavens.
فَلَعَنَ اللهُ أُمَّةً أَسَّسَتْ أَسَاسَ الظُّلْمِ وَالْـجَوْرِ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ
May Allah condemn and damn the people who laid the foundations of injustice and oppression against you, the Ahl al-Bayt.
وَلَعَنَ اللهُ أُمَّةً دَفَعَتْكُمْ عَنْ مَقامِكُمْ وَأَزالَتْكُم
May Allah condemn and damn the people who removed you from your position and displaced you
عَنْ مَرَاتِبِكُمُ الَّتي رَتَّبَكُمُ اللهُ فِيهَا
from the ranks in which Allah had placed you.
وَلَعَنَ اللهُ أُمَّةً قَتَلَتْكُمْ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ الْـمُمَهِّدِينَ لَـهُمْ بِالتَّمْكِينِ مِنْ قِتَالِكُمْ
May Allah condemn and damn the people who killed you, and may Allah condemn and damn those who prepared the way for them and enabled them to fight you.
بَرِئْتُ إِلىٰ اللهِ وَإِلَيْكُمْ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشْيَاعِهِمْ وَأَتْبَاعِهِمْ وَأَوْلِيَآئِهِمْ
I turn to Allah and to you, disassociating myself from them, their followers, their supporters and their allies.
يَا أَبَاعَبْدِاللهِ، إِنِّي سِلْمٌ لـِمَنْ سالَـمَكُمْ، وَحَرْبٌ لـِمَنْ حَارَبَكُمْ إِلىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
O Abu Abdullah, I am at peace with those who are at peace with you, and at war with those who wage war against you, until the Day of Judgement.
وَلَعَنَ اللهُ آلَ زِيَادٍ وَآلَ مَرْوَانَ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ قَاطِبَةً
May Allah condemn and damn the family of Ziyad and the family of Marwan; and may Allah condemn and damn all of Banu Umayyah.

May Allah condemn and damn the people who saddled, bridled and prepared their horses to fight you.
بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمّي، لَقَدْ عَظُمَ مُصَابِي بِكَ، فَأَسْأَلُ اللهَ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَ مَقَامَكَ
May my father and mother be sacrificed for you. Profound is my sorrow for you. I ask Allah, who honoured your position,
وَأَكْرَمَنِي بِكَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَني طَلَبَ ثَارِكَ مَعَ إِمَامٍ مَنْصُورٍ
and honoured me through you, to grant me the opportunity to seek vengeance for you alongside a victorious Imam
مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ
from the Household of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and his family.
أَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي عِنْدَكَ وَجِيهاً بِالْـحُسَيْنِ عَلَيهِ السَّلاَمُ فِي الدُّنْيا وَالآخِرَةِ
O Allah, make me honourable in Your sight through Husayn, peace be upon him, in this world and the Hereafter.
يَا أَبَاعَبْدِاللهِ، إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلىٰ اللهِ وَ إِلىٰ رَسُولِهِ
O Abu Abdullah, I seek nearness to Allah and to His Messenger,
وَ إِلىٰ أَمِيرِالْـمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِلىٰ فَاطِمَةَ وَإِلىٰ الْـحَسَنِ
and to the Commander of the Faithful, to Fatimah and to Hasan,
وَإِلَيْكَ بِـمُوَالاَتِكَ وَبِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِـمَّـنْ قَاتَلَكَ
and to you, through loyalty to you and through disassociation from those who fought you,
وَ نَصَبَ لَکَ الْحَرْبَ وَ بِـالْبَراءَهِ مِمَّنْ اَسَّسَ اَساسَ الظُّلْمِ
who declared war against you, and through disassociation from those who laid the foundations of injustice
وَالْـجَوْرِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَبْرَأُ إِلىٰ اللهِ وَإِلىٰ رَسُولِهِ
and oppression against you. I disassociate myself before Allah and His Messenger
مِـمَّنْ أَسَّسَ أَسَاسَ ذٰلِكَ وَ بَنىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُنْيَانَهُ
from those who laid the foundation of that injustice and built upon it,
وَجَرىٰ فِي ظُلْمِهِ وَجَوْرِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَلىٰ أَشْيَاعِكُمْ
and continued their injustice and oppression against you and your followers.
بَرِئْتُ إِلىٰ اللهِ وَإِلَيْكُمْ مِنْهُمْ
I disassociate myself before Allah and before you from them.
وَأَتَقَرَّبُ إِلىٰ اللهِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْكُمْ بِـمُوَالاَتِكُمْ وَمُوَالاَةِ وَلِيِّكُمْ
I seek nearness to Allah and then to you through loyalty to you and loyalty to your friends,
وَبِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَالنَّاصِبِينَ لَكُمُ الْـحَرْبَ وَبِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَشْيَاعِهِمْ وَأَتْبَاعِهِمْ
and through disassociation from your enemies, from those who waged war against you, and from their supporters and followers.
إِنِّي سِلْمٌ لـِمَنْ سَالَـمَكُمْ وَحَرْبٌ لِـمَنْ حَارَبَكُمْ وَ وَلِيٌّ لـِمَنْ وَالاَكُمْ وَ عَدُوٌّ لِـمَنْ عَاداكُمْ
I am at peace with those who are at peace with you, at war with those who wage war against you, a friend to those who befriend you, and an enemy to those who oppose you.
فَأَسْأَلُ اللهَ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَنِي بِـمَعْرِفَتِكُمْ، وَمَعْرِفَةِ أَوْلِيَآئِكُمْ، وَرَزَقَنِي الْبَرَاءَةَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ
I ask Allah, who honoured me with knowledge of you and of your friends, and granted me disassociation from your enemies,
أَنْ يَـجْعَلَنِي مَعَكُمْ فِي الدُّنْيا وَالآخِرَةِ وَأَنْ يُثَبِّتَ لِي عِنْدَكُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ
to place me with you in this world and the Hereafter, and to establish for me a firm and truthful standing with you in this world and the Hereafter.
وَأَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَنِي الْـمَقامَ الْـمَحْمُودَ لَكُمْ عِنْدَاللهِ
I ask Him to enable me to reach your praised station before Allah,
وَأَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي طَلَبَ ثَارِي مَعَ إِمَامِ هُدىً ظَاهِرٍ نَاطِقٍ بِالْـحَقِّ مِنْكُمْ
and to grant me the opportunity to seek justice alongside a rightly guided Imam from among you, manifest and speaking the truth.
وَأَسْأَلُ اللهَ بِـحَقِّكُمْ وَبِالشَّأْنِ الَّذِي لَكُمْ عِنْدَهُ
I beseech Allah by your right and by the position you hold before Him,
أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِي بِـمُصَابِي بِكُمْ أَفْضَلَ مَا يُعْطِي مُصَاباً بِـمُصِيبَتِهِ، مُصِيبَةً مَا أَعْظَمَهاِ
to grant me, because of my grief for you, the finest reward He grants to anyone afflicted by a tragedy—how immense was this tragedy,
وَأَعْظَمَ رَزِيَّتَهَا فِي الإِسْلاَمِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ
and how overwhelming was this calamity in Islam and throughout all the heavens and the earth.
أَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي فِي مَقَامِي هٰذَا مـِمَّنْ تَنَالُهُ مِنْكَ صَلَواتٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ
O Allah, in this place where I stand, make me among those who receive Your blessings, mercy and forgiveness.
أَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْ مَـحْيَايَ مَـحْيَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍٍ
O Allah, make my life like the life of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
وَمَـمَاتِي مَـمَاتَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّد
and make my death like the death of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.
أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّ هٰذَا يَوْمٌ تَبَرَّكَتْ بِهِ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ وَابْنُ آكِلَةِ الأَكْبَادِ
O Allah, this is a day that Banu Umayyah and the son of the liver-eating woman regarded as blessed,
اللَّعِينُ ابْنُ اللَّعِينِ عَلىٰ لِسَانِكَ وَلِسَانِ نَبِيِّكَََ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه
the accursed son of the accursed, condemned by You and by Your Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family,
فِي كُلِّ مَوْطِنٍ وَمَوْقِفٍ وَقَفَ فِيهِ نَبِيُّك صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه
in every place and at every occasion where Your Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, stood.
أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَبَاسُفْيَانَ وَمُعَاوِيَةَ وَيَزِيدَبْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْكَ اللَّعْنَةُ أَبَدَالأَبِدِينَ
O Allah, condemn and damn Abu Sufyan, Muawiyah and Yazid son of Muawiyah; may Your curse remain upon them forever and ever.
وَهٰذَا يَوْمٌ فَرِحَتْ بِهِ آلُ زِيَادٍ وَآلُ مَرْوَانَ بِقَتْلِهِمُ الْـحُسَيْنَ صَلَواتُ اللهِ عَلَيْه
This is the day on which the family of Ziyad and the family of Marwan rejoiced because they killed Husayn, may the blessings of Allah be upon him.
أَللّٰهُمَّ فَضَاعِفْ عَلَيْهِمُ اللَّعْنَ مِنْكَ وَالْعَذابَ الأَلِيمَ
O Allah, therefore multiply Your curse upon them and the painful punishment You decree for them.
أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ فِي هٰذَا الْيَوْمِ
O Allah, I seek nearness to You on this day,
وَفِي مَوْقِفِي هٰذَا وَأَيَّامِ حَيَاتِي بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُم وَاللَّعْنَةِ عَلَيْهِمْ
in this place and throughout the days of my life, by disassociating myself from them and invoking Your curse upon them,
وَبِالْـمُوَالاتِ لِنَبِيِّكَ وَآلِ نَبِيِّكَ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ
and through loyalty to Your Prophet and the family of Your Prophet, peace be upon him and upon them.
Then say 100 times:
أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَوَّلَ ظَالِمٍ ظَلَمَ حَقَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآخِرَ تَابِعٍ لَهُ عَلىٰ ذٰلِكَ
O Allah, condemn and damn the first tyrant who wrongfully usurped the right of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and the last one who followed him in doing so.
أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْعِصَابَةَ الَّتِي جَاهَدَتِ الْـحُسَيْنَ
O Allah, condemn and damn the group that fought Husayn,
وَشَايَعَتْ وَبَايَعَتْ وَتَابَعَتْ عَلىٰ قَتْلِهِ، أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمْ جَمِيعاً
supported one another, pledged allegiance and joined together to kill him. O Allah, condemn and damn them all.
Then say 100 times:
أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَاعَبْدِاللهِ وَعَلىٰ الأَرْوَاحِ الَّتِي حَلَّتْ بِفِنَآئِكَ
Peace be on you, O Abu Abdullah, and on those souls who came to your courtyard.
عَلَيْكَ مِنِّي سَلاَمُ اللهِ أَبَداً مَا بَقِيتُ وَبَقِيَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ
May the peace of Allah be upon you from me forever, for as long as I live and as long as night and day endure.
وَلاجَعَلَهُ اللهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنِّي لِزِيَارَتِكُمْ
May Allah not make this pledge of mine to visit you the last one.
أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلىٰ الْـحُسَيْن وَعَلىٰ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْـحُسَيْنِِ
Peace be on Husayn, and on Ali son of Husayn,
وَعَلىٰ أَوْلاَدِ الْـحُسَيْنِ وَعَلىٰ أَصْحَابِ الْـحُسَيْن
and on the children of Husayn, and on the companions of Husayn.
أَللّٰهُمَّ خُصَّ أَنْتَ أَوَّلَ ظالِمٍ بِاللَّعْنِ مِنِّي ابْدَأْ بِهِ أَوَّلاً
O Allah, single out the first tyrant with my curse, and begin with him first,
ثُمَّ الْعَنِ الثَّانِيَ وَالثَّالِثَ وَالرَّابِعَ
then condemn and damn the second, the third and the fourth.
أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْ يَزِيدَ خَامِساً، وَالْعَنْ عُبَيْدَاللهِ بْنَ زِيادٍ وَابْنَ مَرْجَانَةَ
O Allah, condemn and damn Yazid as the fifth, and condemn and damn Ubaydullah son of Ziyad, the son of Marjanah,
وَعُمَرَبْنَ سَعْدٍ وَ شِـمْراً وَآلَ أَبي سُفْيانَ وَآلَ زِيَادٍ وَآلَ مَرْوَانَ إِلىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
Umar son of Saad, Shimr, the descendants of Abu Sufyan, the descendants of Ziyad and the descendants of Marwan, until the Day of Judgement.
Then go into prostration and say:
أَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْـحَمْدُ حَمْدَ الشَّاكِرِينَ لَكَ عَلىٰ مُصَابِهِمْ
O Allah, all praise is Yours—the praise of those who are grateful to You for what befell them.
أَلْـحَمْدُلِلّٰهِ عَلىٰ عَظِيمِ رَزِيَّتِي
All praise is for Allah for my deep and intense grief.
أَللّٰهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي شَفَاعَةَ الْـحُسَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْوُرُودِ
O Allah, grant me the intercession of Husayn on the day I come before You,
وَ ثَبِّتْ لِي قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَكَ مَعَ الْـحُسَيْنِ وَأَصْحَابِ الْـحُسَيْنِ
and establish for me a firm and truthful standing before You with Husayn and the companions of Husayn,
الَّذِينَ بَذَلُوا مُهَجَهُمْ دُونَ الْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ
those who sacrificed their lives for Husayn, peace be upon him.
