O Allah, I do seek nearness to You through invoking curse on these peoples (i.e. the enemies of the Holy Prophet’s Household)

وَٱلْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُمْ فِي ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ يَا رَحْمٰنُ

walbara'ati minhum fi alddunya wal-akhirati ya rahmanu

قَتَلَ ٱللَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَكَ بِٱلايْدِي وَٱلالْسُنِ

qatala allahu man qatalaka bil-aydi wal-alsuni
May Allah kill those who killed you with hands and tongues.
