الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي أَشْهَدَنَا مَشْهَدَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ فِي رَجَبٍ،

alhamdu lillahi alladhy ashhadana mashhada awlia’ihi fi rajabin,

All praise be to Allah Who has allowed us to visit the shrine of His Saints in Rajab

 وَأَوْجَبَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ حَقِّهِمْ مَا قَدْ وَجَبَ،

wa awjaba `alayna min haqqhim ma qad wa jaba,

and has made obligatory upon us their rights that are obligatory;

 وَصَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُنْتَجَبِ،

wa salla allahu `ala muhammadin almuntajabi,

and may Allah send blessings upon Muhammad, the divinely selected,

 وَعَلَى أَوْصِيَائِهِ الْحُجُبِ.

wa `ala awsia’ihi alhujubi.

and upon his Successors, the doors to Him.

 اللّهُمَّ فَكَمَا أَشْهَدْتَنَا مَشْهَدَهُمْ فَأَنْجِزْ لَنَا مَوْعِدَهُمْ،

allahumma fakama ashhadtana mashhadahum fanjiz lana maw`idahum,

O Allah: as You have allowed us to visit their shrines, please do fulfill for us the promises that You have made with them;

 وَأَوْرِدْنَا مَوْرِدَهُمْ،

wa awridna mawridahum,

and include us with them

 غَيْرَ مُحَلَّئِينَ عَنْ وِرْدٍ فِي دَارِ الْمُقَامَةِ وَالْخُلْدِ،

ghayra muhalliina `an wirdin fi dari almuqamati wal-khuldi,

and do not include us with those whom shall be prevented from drinking from the (Divine) Pool in the abode of eternity and perpetuity.

 وَالسَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ،

wa alssalamu `alaykum,

And peace be upon you all.

 إنّي قَدْ قَصَدْتُكُمْ وَاعْتَمَدْتُكُمْ بِمَسْأَلَتِي وَحَاجَتِي وَهِيَ فَكَاكُ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ،

inni qad qasadtukum wa`tamadtukum bimasalaty wa hajaty wa hiya fakaku raqabaty mina alnnari,

I have turned my face towards you and directed to you carrying my query and need with me, which is the release of my neck from Hellfire

 وَالْمَقَرُّ مَعَكُمْ فِي دَارِ الْقَرَارِ،

wal-maqarr ma`akum fi dari alqarari,

and the settlement with you in the Abode of Settlement,

 مَعَ شِيعَتِكُمُ الأبْرَارِ،

ma`a shi`atikumu alabrari,

with your pious adherents (Shi`ah).

 وَالسّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ،

wa alssalamu `alaykum bima sabartum fani`ma `uqba alddari,

And peace be upon you all for that you persevered in patience. Now how excellent is the final home!

 أَنَا سَائِلُكُمْ وَآمِلُكُمْ فِيمَا إلَيْكُمُ التَّفْوِيضُ،

ana sa’ilukum wa amilukum fima ilaykumu alttfui¤u,

I hereby beg you and put my hope in you as regards the matters in which you have the right to act

 وَعَلَيْكُمُ التَّعْوِيضُ،

wa `alaykumu altt`ui¤u,

and recompense.

 فَبِكُمْ يُجْبَرُ الْمَهِيضُ،

fabikum yujbaru almahi¤u,

Truly, through you only are the hopeless restored (to good condition)

 وَيُشْفَى الْمَرِيضُ،

wa yushfa almari¤u,

and through you only are the ailed healed

 وَمَا تَزْدَادُ الأرْحَامُ وَمَا تَغِيضُ،

wa ma tazdadu alarhamu wa ma taghi¤u,

and that which the wombs absorb and that which they grow.

 إنِّي بِسِرِّكُمْ مُؤْمِنٌ،

inni bisirrikum mu´minun,

Verily, I have full faith in your Secret

 وَلِقَوْلِكُمْ مُسَلِّمٌ،

wa liqawlikum musallmun,

and I am fully submissive to your words

 وَعَلَى اللّهِ بِكُمْ مُقْسِمٌ فِي رَجْعِي بِحَوَائِجِي وَقَضَائِهَا وَإمْضَائِهَا وَإنْجَاحِهَا وَإبْرَاحِهَا وَبِشُؤُونِي لَدَيْكُمْ وَصَلاحِهَا،

wa `ala allahi bikum muqsimun fi raj`y bihawa’ijy wa qa¤a’iha wa im¤a’iha wa injahiha wa ibrahiha wa bishu´uny ladaykum wa salahiha,

and I thus ask you by Allah to settle, respond to, give success to, and set aright all my needs and all my affairs towards you.

 وَالسَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ سَلامَ مُوَدِّعٍ،

wa alssalamu `alaykum salama mwadd`in,

Peace be upon you from one who bids you farewell

 وَلَكُمْ حَوَائِجَهُ مُودِعٌ،

wa lakum hawa’ijahu mudi`un,

and puts all his needs with you

 يَسْأَلُ اللّهَ إلَيْكُمُ الْمَرْجِعَ،

yasalu allaha ilaykumu almarji`a,

praying Allah for another visit to you

 وَسَعْيُهُ إلَيْكُمْ غَيْرَ مُنْقَطِعٍ،

wa sa`iuhu ilaykum ghayra munqati`in,

since his hope is never cut off from you.

 وَأَنْ يَرْجِعَنِي مِنْ حَضْرَتِكُمْ خَيْرَ مَرْجِعٍ إلَى جَنَابٍ مُمْرِعٍ،

wa an yarji`any min ha¤ratikum khayra marji`in ila janabin mumri`in,

I also pray Him to make my departure successful to a productive place,

 وَخَفْضٍ مُوَسَّعٍ،

wa khaf¤in mwass`in,

a fruitful area,

 وَدَعَةٍ وَمَهَلٍ إلَى حِينِ الأجَلِ،

wa da`atin wa mahalin ila hini alajali,

comfort, and luxurious up to the befalling of death;

 وَخَيْرِ مَصِيرٍ وَمَحَلٍّ فِي النَّعِيمِ الأزَلِ،

wa khayri masirin wa mahall fi alnn`imi alazali,

and also [I pray Him] for the best destiny and abode in the Eternal Bliss,

 وَالْعَيْشِ الْمُقْتَبَلِ،

wal-`ayshi almuqtabali,

the affluent living,

the drinking from the pure drink

 وَعَلٍّ وَنَهَلٍ لا سَأَمَ مِنْهُ وَلا مَلَلَ،

wa `allin wa nahalin la sa’ama minhu wa la malala,

and the divine spring whose drink is refreshing and thirst-quenching that is never bored or fed up.

 وَرَحْمَةُ اللّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ وَتَحِيَّاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَتَّى الْعَوْدِ إلَى حَضْرَتِكُمْ،

wa rahmatu allahi wa barakatuhu wa tahiyyatuhu `alaykum hatta al`awdi ila ha¤ratikum,

Allah’s mercy, blessings and salutations be upon you incessantly until I return to your presence

 وَالْفَوْزِ فِي كَرَّتِكُمْ،

wal-fawzi fi karrtikum,

and win the honor of visiting you again

 وَالْحَشْرِ فِي زُمْرَتِكُمْ،

wal-hashri fi zumratikum,

and the honor of being resurrected with your group.

 وَرَحْمَةُ اللّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَصَلَوَاتُهُ وَتَحِيَّاتُهُ،

wa rahmatu allahi wa barakatuhu `alaykum wa salawatuhu wa tahiyyatuhu,

Allah’s mercy, blessings, benedictions, and salutations be upon you,

وَهُوَ حَسْبُنَا وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ.

for Allah alone is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!
