O Allah, I am visiting this Imam confessing his Imamate, Believing in the obligation of the obedience to him;

therefore, I have betaken myself to his shrine in spite of all my sins, and all my defects, and the perils of my wrongdoings, and my numerous misdeeds and faults, and whatsoever You know about me; Calling for Your Amnesty, seeking the refuge of Your forbearance, hoping for Your mercy, seeking Your shelter, seeking the protection of Your compassion, seeking the intercession of Your Intimate saint and the son of Your Imamate saint, and Your choice servant and the son of Your choice servant, and Your representative and the son of Your representative whom You have made the means of approach to Your mercy and pleasure, and the channels to Your compassion and forgiveness

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي زُرْتُ هَذَا الْإِمَامَ مُقِرّاً بِإِمَامَتِهِ مُعْتَقِداً لِفَرْضِ طَاعَتِهِ‏
فَقَصَدْتُ مَشْهَدَهُ بِذُنُوبِي وَ عُيُوبِي وَ مُوبِقَاتِ آثَامِي وَ كَثْرَةِ سَيِّئَاتِي وَ خَطَايَايَ وَ مَا تَعْرِفُهُ مِنِّي‏
مُسْتَجِيراً بِعَفْوِكَ مُسْتَعِيذاً بِحِلْمِكَ رَاجِياً رَحْمَتَكَ لاَجِئاً إِلَى رُكْنِكَ عَائِذاً بِرَأْفَتِكَ‏
مُسْتَشْفِعاً بِوَلِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ صَفِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ أَمِينِكَ وَ ابْنِ أُمَنَائِكَ‏
وَ خَلِيفَتِكَ وَ ابْنِ خُلَفَائِكَ الَّذِينَ جَعَلْتَهُمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ الذَّرِيعَةَ إِلَى رَأْفَتِكَ وَ غُفْرَانِكَ‏

O Allah: My first need from You is that I implore to You to forgive all my previous sins although they are numerous, And protect me (against sinning) in my coming life, and to purify my religion from whatsoever stains or disgraces or degrades it , and to save it from suspect, doubt, corruption and blasphemy, and to make me stand firm on the obedience to You and to Your Messenger and to hi Progeny, the pure and the happy-may Your blessings and mercy and peace and favors upon them- and to make me live, as long as You grant me life, on the obedience to them�and not to erase from my heart my love and affection for them and my aversion to their enemies and my companionship to their adherents and my acting piously towards them

اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَوَّلُ حَاجَتِي إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي عَلَى كَثْرَتِهَا
وَ أَنْ تَعْصِمَنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمْرِي وَ تُطَهِّرَ دِينِي مِمَّا يُدَنِّسُهُ وَ يَشِينُهُ وَ يُزْرِي بِهِ‏
وَ تَحْمِيَهُ مِنَ الرَّيْبِ وَ الشَّكِّ وَ الْفَسَادِ وَ الشِّرْكِ‏
وَ تُثَبِّتَنِي عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ رَسُولِكَ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّجَبَاءِ السُّعَدَاءِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ سَلاَمُكَ وَ بَرَكَاتُكَ‏
وَ تُحْيِيَنِي مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي عَلَى طَاعَتِهِمْ وَ تُمِيتَنِي إِذَا أَمَتَّنِي عَلَى طَاعَتِهِمْ‏
وَ أَنْ لاَ تَمْحُوَ مِنْ قَلْبِي مَوَدَّتَهُمْ وَ مَحَبَّتَهُمْ وَ بُغْضَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَ مُرَافَقَةَ أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ وَ بِرَّهُمْ‏
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ ذَلِكَ مِنِّي وَ تُحَبِّبَ إِلَيَّ عِبَادَتَكَ وَ الْمُوَاظَبَةَ عَلَيْهَا

And I implore to You, O Lord, to accept that from me, and to make me loathe acts of disobedience to You and acts that You have deemed forbidden and to take away from these acts, And to save me against negligence, belittling and slackening in the performance of my prayers, and to lead me to perform them as perfect as You have made incumbent upon me and as You have commanded according to the Sunnah (traditions) of Your Messenger-may Your blessings, mercy and favors be upon him and his Family-with obedience and reverence, and to expend my breast for defraying the Zakat and almsgiving and doing favors and good turns for the adherents of the Family of Muhammad peace be upon him- and for consoling them, and not to take me up (i.e. cause me to die) before You bestow upon me the favor of going on pilgrimage to Your Sacred House and to the tomb of Your Prophet and the tombs of the Imams-peace be upon them

وَ تُنَشِّطَنِي لَهَا وَ تُبَغِّضَ إِلَيَّ مَعَاصِيَكَ وَ مَحَارِمَكَ وَ تَدْفَعَنِي عَنْهَا
وَ تُجَنِّبَنِي التَّقْصِيرَ فِي صَلَوَاتِي وَ الاِسْتِهَانَةَ بِهَا وَ التَّرَاخِيَ عَنْهَا وَ تُوَفِّقَنِي لِتَأْدِيَتِهَا كَمَا فَرَضْتَ‏
وَ أَمَرْتَ بِهِ عَلَى سُنَّةِ رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ بَرَكَاتُكَ خُضُوعاً وَ خُشُوعاً
وَ تَشْرَحَ صَدْرِي لإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَ إِعْطَاءِ الصَّدَقَاتِ وَ بَذْلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ‏
وَ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَى شِيعَةِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ وَ مُوَاسَاتِهِمْ‏
وَ لاَ تَتَوَفَّانِي إِلاَّ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنِي حِجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ وَ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ قُبُورِ الْأَئِمَّةِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ‏

And I implore to You, O Lord, (to grant me) a sincere repentance that You accept, and an intention that you praise, and to have mercy upon me when You take me up, and to make easy for me the agonies of death, and to include me with the group of Muhammad and his Family-peace of Allah be upon him and them..� and to allow me to enter Paradise out of Your mercy, and to make me shed heavy tears as obeisance to You, and to make my tears always run down in acts that draw me near You, And to make my heart sympathetic towards Your intimate servants

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً تَرْضَاهَا وَ نِيَّةً تَحْمَدُهَا وَ عَمَلاً صَالِحاً تَقْبَلُهُ‏
وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي وَ تُهَوِّنَ عَلَيَّ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ‏
وَ تَحْشُرَنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ تُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ‏
وَ تَجْعَلَ دَمْعِي غَزِيراً فِي طَاعَتِكَ وَ عَبْرَتِي جَارِيَةً فِيمَا يُقَرِّبُنِي مِنْكَ وَ قَلْبِي عَطُوفاً عَلَى أَوْلِيَائِكَ‏

And to save me in this worldy life from handicaps, epidemics, incurable diseases, chronic illnesses, and all sorts of misfortunes and catastrophes, and to cause my heart to turn away from the forbidden (acts and things), and to make me hate acts of disobedience to You, and to make me love the legally gotten sustenance and to open its doors before me, and to extend my age and to close the doors of adversaries before me, and not to take back from me whatsoever You have favored upon me, and not to take back from me the graces that You have granted me, and not to take from me the elegances that You have conferred upon me, and to increase that which You have given me in possession and to expand it many folds.

وَ تَصُونَنِي فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْعَاهَاتِ وَ الْآفَاتِ وَ الْأَمْرَاضِ الشَّدِيدَةِ وَ الْأَسْقَامِ الْمُزْمِنَةِ
وَ جَمِيعِ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلاَءِ وَ الْحَوَادِثِ وَ تَصْرِفَ قَلْبِي عَنِ الْحَرَامِ‏
وَ تُبَغِّضَ إِلَيَّ مَعَاصِيَكَ وَ تُحَبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْحَلاَلَ وَ تَفْتَحَ لِي أَبْوَابَهُ‏
وَ تُثَبِّتَ نِيَّتِي وَ فِعْلِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَمُدَّ فِي عُمْرِي وَ تُغْلِقَ أَبْوَابَ الْمِحَنِ عَنِّي‏
وَ لاَ تَسْلُبَنِي مَا مَنَنْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ لاَ تَسْتَرِدَّ شَيْئًا مِمَّا أَحْسَنْتَ بِهِ إِلَيَ‏
وَ لاَ تَنْزِعَ مِنِّي النِّعَمَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ وَ تَزِيدَ فِيمَا خَوَّلْتَنِي وَ تُضَاعِفَهُ أَضْعَافاً مُضَاعَفَةً

And to bestow upon me a fortune that is very much, spacious, agreeable, joyful, growing, and satisfactory; and (to bestow upon me) prestige that is outgoing and overwhelming; and (to bestow upon me) favor that is following and broad; and  to make me, through these, dispense with the humiliating appeals and the unreachable sources; and to save me from theme with good health as regards my religion and my self and my sons and whatsoever You have given and granted me; And to preserve for me my properties and whatsoever You have put under my disposal

وَ تَرْزُقَنِي مَالاً كَثِيراً وَاسِعاً سَائِغاً هَنِيئاً نَامِياً وَافِياً وَ عِزّاً بَاقِياً كَافِياً
وَ جَاهاً عَرِيضاً مَنِيعاً وَ نِعْمَةً سَابِغَةً عَامَّةً وَ تُغْنِيَنِي بِذَلِكَ عَنِ الْمَطَالِبِ الْمُنَكَّدَةِ وَ الْمَوَارِدِ الصَّعْبَةِ
وَ تُخَلِّصَنِي مِنْهَا مُعَافًى فِي دِينِي وَ نَفْسِي وَ وَلَدِي وَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي وَ مَنَحْتَنِي‏
وَ تَحْفَظَ عَلَيَّ مَالِي وَ جَمِيعَ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي وَ تَقْبِضَ عَنِّي أَيْدِيَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ وَ تَرُدَّنِي إِلَى وَطَنِي‏

وَ تُبَلِّغَنِي نِهَايَةَ أَمَلِي فِي دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي وَ تَجْعَلَ عَاقِبَةَ أَمْرِي مَحْمُودَةً حَسَنَةً سَلِيمَةً
وَ تَجْعَلَنِي رَحِيبَ الصَّدْرِ وَاسِعَ الْحَالِ حَسَنَ الْخُلُقِ‏
بَعِيداً مِنَ الْبُخْلِ وَ الْمَنْعِ وَ النِّفَاقِ وَ الْكِذْبِ وَ الْبَهْتِ وَ قَوْلِ الزُّورِ
وَ تُرْسِخَ فِي قَلْبِي مَحَبَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ‏
وَ تَحْرُسَنِي يَا رَبِّ فِي نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وَلَدِي وَ أَهْلِ حُزَانَتِي‏
وَ إِخْوَانِي وَ أَهْلِ مَوَدَّتِي وَ ذُرِّيَّتِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ جُودِكَ‏

O Allah: these are my needs from you; and, out of my meaness and avarice, I have considered these (needs) as great; while they are in Your view are insignificantly small and they are easy and effortless for You; I thus implore to  You by the standing of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad--- peace be upon him and them�with You and by their right with You; and by what You have made incumbent (upon You) as regards Your Prophets, and Your Messengers, and Your choice servants, and Your intimate saints who are sincere in worshipping You; and by Your Grand, Substantial Name--- (I implore to You by all these) to settle all of my needs; and to relieve me through settling them for me and not to disappoint nor let me down

اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ حَاجَاتِي عِنْدَكَ وَ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُهَا لِلُؤْمِي وَ شُحِّي وَ هِيَ عِنْدَكَ صَغِيرَةٌ حَقِيرَةٌ وَ عَلَيْكَ سَهْلَةٌ يَسِيرَةٌ
فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِجَاهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ عِنْدَكَ وَ بِحَقِّهِمْ عَلَيْكَ‏
وَ بِمَا أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُمْ وَ بِسَائِرِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمُخْلَصِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ‏
وَ بِاسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ لَمَّا قَضَيْتَهَا كُلَّهَا وَ أَسْعَفْتَنِي بِهَا وَ لَمْ تُخَيِّبْ أَمَلِي وَ رَجَائِي‏

O Allah, (please) accept the one in this Tomb as my interceder You. O Master, O the Saint of Allah, o the Representative of Allah; I beseech you to intercede for me before Allah--- to Whom belongs all might and majesty�to accept and settle all my needs; by the right of Your Immaculate fathers and by the right of Your choice sons; For you enjoy in the view of Allah--- sacred by His Names--- and honorable standing and a lofty rank and a spacious regard.

اللَّهُمَّ وَ شَفِّعْ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ فِيَ‏
يَا سَيِّدِي يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ يَا أَمِينَ اللَّهِ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَشْفَعَ لِي إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَاجَاتِ كُلِّهَا
بِحَقِّ آبَائِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ بِحَقِّ أَوْلاَدِكَ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ‏
فَإِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الشَّرِيفَةَ وَ الْمَرْتَبَةَ الْجَلِيلَةَ وَ الْجَاهَ الْعَرِيضَ‏

O Allah: had I know a person more acceptable, for You, than this Imam and his fathers and sons, the Pure---peace and blessings be upon them.. I would have chosen them to be my interceders (before You) and I would have introduced them (before You) in order that You would settle my needs and requests; I therefore please You to hear from me and to respond to me and to do to me that which suits You; You are the most Merciful of all those who show mercy. O Allah: as regards the needs that my requests have not included and the things that I am too powerless to do and the things that I am not too clever to mention among the things that prosper my religion and my worldly life and my next life; I request You to confer upon me with these; and to protect me; and to guard me; and to bestow upon me (with Your favors); and to forgive me.

اللَّهُمَّ لَوْ عَرَفْتُ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْجَهُ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْإِمَامِ وَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ وَ أَبْنَائِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ وَ الصَّلاَةُ
لَجَعَلْتُهُمْ شُفَعَائِي وَ قَدَّمْتُهُمْ أَمَامَ حَاجَتِي وَ طَلِبَاتِي هَذِهِ‏
فَاسْمَعْ مِنِّي وَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي وَ افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏
اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَا قَصُرَتْ عَنْهُ مَسْأَلَتِي وَ عَجَزَتْ عَنْهُ قُوَّتِي وَ لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ فِطْنَتِي مِنْ صَالِحِ دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِيفَامْنُنْ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ احْفَظْنِي وَ احْرُسْنِي وَ هَبْ لِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي ‏

And as for anyone who intends evil or wickedness to me-such as a rebellious devil, or a tyrant ruler; or a dissident miscreant, or a rival in this world; or one who envies me for a grace, or an unjust individual, or a despot--- then (please) make their hands too short to catch me, and take away their plots against me; and make them be engaged with their own affairs ( so as to be away from harming me), and save me from their evils and the evils of their followers and their devils; and stand by me against whatsoever harms me and whatsoever does injustice to me; and (please) grant me the entire goodness whether I know or I do not.

وَ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِسُوءٍ أَوْ مَكْرُوهٍ مِنْ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ
أَوْ سُلْطَانٍ عَنِيدٍ أَوْ مُخَالِفٍ فِي دِينٍ أَوْ مُنَازِعٍ فِي دُنْيَا أَوْ حَاسِدٍ عَلَيَّ نِعْمَةً أَوْ ظَالِمٍ أَوْ بَاغٍ‏
فَاقْبِضْ عَنِّي يَدَهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُ وَ اشْغَلْهُ (عَنِّي) بِنَفْسِهِ وَ اكْفِنِي شَرَّهُ وَ شَرَّ أَتْبَاعِهِ وَ شَيَاطِينِه
وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مَا يَضُرُّنِي وَ يُجْحِفُ بِي وَ أَعْطِنِي جَمِيعَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ (كُلَّهُ) مِمَّا أَعْلَمُ وَ مِمَّا لاَ أَعْلَمُ‏ِ‏

O Allah: bless Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad; and forgive me, and my parents, and my brothers, and sisters, and (paternal uncles, and (paternal) aunts, and (maternal) uncles, and (maternal) aunts, and forefathers, and foremothers; and their sons and their offspring; and my spouse(s), and my offspring, and my relatives, and my friends; and my neighbors, and my brothers-in-faith in the east and in the west (of the earth; and all those whom I love among the believing men and believing women, by they alive or dead; and all those who have ever taught me an item of decency of those who have received from me an item of knowledge.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ لِإِخْوَانِي وَ أَخَوَاتِي‏
وَ أَعْمَامِي وَ عَمَّاتِي وَ أَخْوَالِي وَ خَالاَتِي وَ أَجْدَادِي وَ جَدَّاتِي وَ أَوْلاَدِهِمْ وَ ذَرَارِيهِمْ‏
وَ أَزْوَاجِي وَ ذُرِّيَاتِي وَ أَقْرِبَائِي وَ أَصْدِقَائِي وَ جِيرَانِي وَ إِخْوَانِي فِيكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّرْقِ وَ الْغَرْبِ‏
وَ لِجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ مَوَدَّتِي مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ‏
وَ لِجَمِيعِ مَنْ عَلَّمَنِي خَيْراً أَوْ تَعَلَّمَ مِنِّي عِلْماً

O Allah: make all these have a share in my best Supplications to You and in my (ritual) pilgrimages to the shrine of Your Claim (against the creatures) and Your Saint; and make me have a share in the best of their Supplications, by Your mercy, for You are the most Merciful of all those who show mercy; and send their greetings to Your Saint; peace and Allah�s mercy and blessings be upon you.

اللَّهُمَّ أَشْرِكْهُمْ فِي صَالِحِ دُعَائِي وَ زِيَارَتِي لِمَشْهَدِ حُجَّتِكَ وَ وَلِيِّكَ‏
وَ أَشْرِكْنِي فِي صَالِحِ أَدْعِيَتِهِمْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏
وَ بَلِّغْ وَلِيَّكَ مِنْهُمُ السَّلاَمَ وَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

 يَا سَيِّدِي يَا مَوْلاَيَ يَا فُلاَنَ بْنَ فُلاَنٍ‏
بجاى اين كلمه نام امامى را كه زيارت مى‏كند و نام پدر آن بزرگوار را بگويد
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى رُوحِكَ وَ بَدَنِكَ أَنْتَ وَسِيلَتِي إِلَى

اللَّهِ وَ ذَرِيعَتِي إِلَيْهِ وَ لِي حَقُّ مُوَالاَتِي وَ تَأْمِيلِي‏
فَكُنْ شَفِيعِي إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي الْوُقُوفِ عَلَى قِصَّتِي هَذِهِ وَ صَرْفِي عَنْ مَوْقِفِي هَذَا بِالنُّجْحِ بِمَا سَأَلْتُهُ كُلِّهِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ قُدْرَتِهِ‏
اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي عَقْلاً كَامِلاً وَ لُبّاً رَاجِحاً وَ عِزّاً بَاقِياً وَ قَلْباً زَكِيّاً
وَ عَمَلاً كَثِيراً وَ أَدَباً بَارِعاً وَ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ لِي وَ لاَ تَجْعَلْهُ عَلَيَّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِين

O my master, O my leader; O (mention the name of the Imam whose shrine you are visiting); may Allah bless you, and your soul, and your body; you are my means to approach Allah and my way towards Him; and I enjoy the right of my loyalty to you and the right of my putting my entire hope in you; therefore, be my interceder before Allah---- to whom belongs all mighty and majesty--- so that he shall regard my story (that I have just told) and so that He shall make success the result of all my requests in this pilgrimage out of His mercy and might. O Allah; bestow upon me a perfect intellectually and a sagacious reason; and an everlasting might and a pure heart; and a very much work (for Your), and excellent manners; and archive all these for me and do not make them strand against me; by Your mercy, for You are the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
