Peace be on you, O Aba Abdullah! peace be on you, O son of the Messenger of Allah! 

 . . peace be on you, O son of the commander of the faithfuls, the forebear of the successors! 

 Peace be on you, O son of Faatimah, the choicest among the women of the worlds! 

 Peace be on you, who was martyred while fighting heroically in the cause of Allah, the son of Allah's fearless warrior, you were isolated and had been attacked with a vengeance! 

 Peace be on you and on those souls who had gathered in your camp, in your journey. I pray and invoke Allah to keep all of you tranquil and restful, for ever; so far I am alive, this is my prayer, and till nights and days follow each other. 

 O Abaa Abdu I lah ! unbearable is the sorrow, nerve-racking is the agony, youput up with, for us and for all the )true( Muslims, 

 crimes committed against you also shocked and unnerved the dwellers of the heavens, one and all. 

 May Allah condemn and damn the people who laid the basis and set up the groundwork, to wander astray and turn aside from not only you and your family but to take liberties and bear hard upon you. 

 May Allah condemn and damn the people who tried to obscure and deny your office and status, wilfully neglected your rank and class Allah had made known in clear terms. 

 May Allah condemn and damn the people who killed you. May Allah condemn and damn the abettors who instigated and had a part in your murder. 

 I turn to you and Allah, away from them, their henchmen, their followers and their friends, 

 O Abaa Abdullah, I make peace with those who make their peace with you, I make war on those who go to war against you, till the Day of Judgement. 

 May Allah condemn and damn the family of Ziyaad and the family of Marwaan; may Allah condemn and damn the group and the tribe of Umiyyah, one and all, altogether;may Allah condemn and damn ibna Marjaanah; 

 may Allah condemn and damn Umar bin Saad; may Allah condemn and damn Shimr; 

 may Allah condemn and damn the people who celebrate, enjoy, sing and dance on the day of your martyrdom. My father and mother are at your disposal. 

 Profound is my sorrow for you. I beg Allah, who honoured you above others, to be generous towards me on account of you, 

 and give me the opportunity to be with the victorious Imaam, the descendant of Muhammad )blessings and peace be on him and on his children from Allah( at the time of the final and decisive war against Allah's enemies. 

 O my Allah make me attend to Thy cause, sincerely, in every respect following in Husayn's footsteps, in this world and the hereafter. 

 O Abaa Abdullah, I come nearer and seek greater intimacy with Allah, with His Messenger, with Ameerul Moomineen, 

 with Faatimah, with Has-an and with you, with the help of your love 

 and patronage, cutting off every connection with those who took up arms against you and killed you. I disconnect all links with those who, in the beginning, took the first steps to take liberties with and bear hard upon you, 

 I take refuge with Allah and His Messenger free from the guilt of associating with those who laid the foundation for )your suffering(, devised and carried out their corrupt plan of action, 

 boldly gave currency to reign of terror and cruelty to oppress you and your friends and followers; detach myself from them and present myself to Allah and to you, 

 I )first( seek greater intimacy with Allah and then with you to win your love and patronage, and to make friends with your friends, 

 cut off all links with your enemies, and with those who planted the seeds of hostility against you, and reject and discard their associates, their followers and their friends. 

 I make peace with those who made their peace with you, I search out and confront those who waged war against you, I make friends with those who stood by you, I strive against those who came in conflict with you, 

 therefore, I make a request to Allah to acquaint )me( with the awareness that perceives you and your friends, to set me free from the corrupting influence of your enemies, 

 to make me keep company with you it, this world and in the Hereafter, stand firm beside you and follow your footsteps closely in this world and in the next world. 

 I beseech Him that He helps me to reach your highly praised station, given to you by Allah, )to meet you(, 

 that He provides me the opportunity to fight for justice and fairplay alongwith and under the leadership of the rightly guided guide )in your progeny( who surely will come and speak the truth. 

 I beseech Allah in the name of your right and the purpose He assigned to you, that He overwhelms me with grief in memory of your sorrows, more than the personal grief that torments any one who is in great agony, 

 sorrows which have no parallel and overshadow all calamities that took place in the history of Islam, for that matter, through out the whole universe. 

 O my Allah, in my on the spot situation, treat me like him )or her( who obtains from Thee )Thy( blessings, mercy and forgiveness. 

 O my Allah, bring me to life again, after death, in the place Muhammad and his "Aal" )children( are dwelling, and make me depart from this world like Muhammad and his "Aal" )children( had left, 

 O my Allah this day is a day of rejoicing for the "Bani Umayyah", 

 the herd of hardened criminals, the eternally damned and accursed group, a fact that had been made public by Thee and by Thy Prophet )blessings of Allah be on him and on his children(, 

 who, in every place and at all occasions, drew attention of people to this truism. 

 O my Allah condemn and damn Abu Sufyaan, Mu-a'awiyah bin Abu Sufyan, Yazid bin Muwa'awiyah and let it be an everlasting curse upon therr from Thee. 

 Today the descendants of Ziyaad and Marwan make merry, laugh and dance because on this day they killed Husayn )blessings of Allah be on him(. 

 O my Allah, therefore, double up the curse Thou brings upon them and also the punishment Thou decrees for them. 

 O my Allah, I seek nearness to Thee today in this frame of mind, cutting off all links with them for the _rest of my life, 

 denouncing them because of my love for Thy Prophet and his children, peace be on him and them. 

 O my Allah condemn and damn the first tyrant who unjustly and wrongfully usurped that which rightly belonged to Muhammad and the children of Muhammad, and bring curse upon those who, after him, followed in his footsteps. 

 O my Allah condemn anddamn those conspirators who vexed and harassed Husayn, showed eagerness, agreed mutually, and joined hands to kill him. O my Allah bring curse upon all of them. 

 Peace be on you, O Abaa Abdullah, and on those souls who came to your camp to put themselves at your disposal. 

 So far I am alive and the days and nights follow each other I invoke Allah to send blessings on you for ever and ever. 

 May Allah not make my this pledge of close association, physical as well as spiritual, with you the last fulfilment. 

 Peace be on Husayn, and on Ali son of Husayn, and on the children of Husayn, and on the friends of Husayn. 

 O my Allah, let the curse I call down on the head of the first tyrant stick like a leech; and stay put for ever on the first, then the second, the third and the fourth. 

 O my Allah damn and call down evil on the fifth, Yazid son of Mua'awyah, and bring a curse upon Ubaydullah bin Ziyaad, ibna Marjanah, 

 Umar bin Saad, and Shimr, and on the descendants of Abu Sufyaan, on the descendants of Ziyaad, on the descendants of Marwaan, till the Day of Judgement. 

 O my Allah!)All( praise is for Thee )alone(; praise of the "Ever-thankful to Thee", who glorify Thee whatever come to pass. )All( praise is for Allah for my deepfelt intense grief. 

 O my Allah make available for me the recommendations of Husayn on the day I present myself before Thee, 

 let me stand firm in safety before Thee on account of my sincere attachment with Husayn, alongwith him and his comrades, who sacrificed everything they had )heart, mind, soul and life( for Husayn, peace be on him. 

 O Allah! O Allah! O Allah! O He who gives answer to the cries of the persecuted! O He who pulls out the griefstricken from agony and anguish! O He who comes to help those who shed tears in helplessness! 

 O He who brings relief to those who cry for help! O He who is close by, nearer than my jugular vein! 

 O He who makes peace between heart and mind; O He whom people search in the highest and noblest perspectives; in true and evident distinctions! 

 O He who is Beneficent and Merciful in His authority! O He who knows what the furtive eyes betrays and what the secretive hearts conceal! 

 O He whom do not deceive those who do everything in secret! O He whom intermingled voices of the countless callers )supplicants( do not stop from giving answer to each and every one! 

 O He whom wants and needs of the infinite needy do not put in confusion for attending to one and all separately!O He whom clamorous determined pleading of petitioners do not upset! 

 O He who reaches and takes hold of everything that tries to escape! O He who keeps together and brings into harmony people who know and understand! O He who examines the souls when they present themselves before Him after death! 

 O He who, each day, has a )new( distinct glory! O Fulfiller of wants and needs! O He who gives comfort and respite in distress! O He who liberally satisfies those who solicit His favours! 

 O He who stands by and follow close upon those who humbly and fervently call on Him! O He who effectively support those who make sincere efforts! 

 O He who is equal to and can do anything instead of another in the matters concerning all things; and nothing, in the heavens and the earth, can be out of the reach of or is free from His hold. 

 I beseech Thee in the name of Muhammad, the last Prophet, and Ali, the commander of the faithfuIs, in the name of Fatimah, the daughter of Thy Prophet, in the name of Hasan and Husayn. 

 I direct myself towards Thee, through them, in my address, through them I try to get a hearing, through them I put forward my case to get Thy favours, 

 in their names I make a request to Thee; bound to Thee by oath, living a life according to Thy commands, I carry out my pledge by every means, in the name of the love and devotion Thou has for them, and the influence and status they enjoy in every dimension of Thy will, 

 the superior-most pre-eminence in wisdom and character Thou bestowed upon them to transcend above everything in the whole universe, in the name of Thy name Thou revealed to - them in trust, on account of which Thou chose them in preference over everything found in the heavens and the earths, 

 through which Thou built their syndrome, developed to perfection their surpassing excellence in knowledge, learning and deeds, out of all the rest of the people, till their completeness surpassed the total achievement of all the people put together; 

 I request Thee to send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad; )and( look into the causes of my sorrows, anxieties, burdens, and do away with them, 

 let me be equal to, sufficiently instructed, while dealing with my important enterprises and efforts, )and( carry out and fulfil my obligations, 

 set me free from the clutches of poverty and from the pangs of hunger, let me have enough to live upon, free from the need to turn to others, 

 let me be an adequate match for him who, I am afraid, shall create trouble, thwart the schemes of the one who, I am afraid, shall treat me harshly, let him, who, I am afraid, shall vex me, come to grief, 

 expose and rebuke him, who, I am afraid, shall slander me, lay out a plan to defeat him, who, I am afraid, shall try to deceive me by strategem, cake notice and act swiftly against him, who, I am afraid, shall treat me unjustly, 

 take me into Thy custody to keep safe from the one who, I am afraid, shall tyrannize me, exercise Thy supreme authority to keep him in check, who, I am afraid, shall rule over me, outwit him, who, I am afraid, shall lay traps to deceive me cunningly, 

 make ready a fitting reply to him who, I am afraid, shall oppress me; keep off from me the obstinate deceit of the vindictive malicious, and the crafty artifice of the cunning impostor. 

 O my Allah put an end to the intentions of him who desires to destroy me, outwit him who makes plans, 

 keep off from me his deceit and intrigue, his hostility and fancy, keep me aloof, refusing to have anything to do with him, in whatever manner, on any occasion, as Thou wills. 

 O my Allah divert his attention from me and involve him in his own overbearing anxieties which Thou will not cut down, in misfortune which Thou will not make easy to deal with, in waywardness from which Thou will not lead him back on the right path, 

 in spiritless laziness which Thou will never change into fruitful activity, in infamy and disgrace from which Thou will not allow him to rise to the surface, in broken fortune which Thou will not let get set. 

 O my Allah let contemptible disgrace stick like a leech on the forehead between his two eyes, expose him to emptiness in every effort he makes, let wicked inclination, distraction arid inactivity cut deep into his body and soul, 

 in order that Thou diverts his attention from me, absorbed in his own pursuits that donot free him to employ himself at another, make him think no more of me as he has wilfully neglected and forgotten Thee, 

 take away from me and throw overboard his attention, interest, communication, influence, support, and perverted thinking-every evil he commits or draws it on himself, 

 let everything he does go waste, defective and incomplete, and do not give any letup so that he is kept fully preoccupied and gets no time to pay attention to me or think of me. 

 Give enough to me, O He who effectively and completely gives satisfaction. There is no one other than Thee who gives sufficiently, because Thou alone gives enough, no one else gives to the seeker's satisfaction except Thee. Thou dispels the clouds of sorrows, no ore else, save Thee can free the grief-stricken from cares. 

 Thou comes to help, no one else, except Thee, can do a favour when called for help. Thou art near, ready to avert the danger, no one else, save Thee, is close enough to stand by in the hour of trouble. 

 Comes to grief he who relies upon his own friends instead of Thee; or looks for his own supporters in place of Thee; frightened, cries for help having some one else other than Thee in mind; 

 terrorized, runs away from the danger to a place of escape outside of Thy guaranty, and takes refuge in an asylum not watched over by Thee; and tries to bring himself to a place of safety through the help of created beings, excluding Thee, the Creator. 

 Therefore Thou art my trust, my hope, my retreat, my refuge, my security, unto which one can run for safety, 

 for this reason I call for Thy help, and seek Thy support to carry out my affairs easily and successfully, through Muhammad and the children of Muhammad I present myself before Thee, try to draw Thy attention and ask for salvation. 

 So I beseecn Thee, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, because )all( praise is for Thee )alone(, and also prostration in thankfulness, Thou alone I istens to complaints, Thou alone is called upon for help. 

 So I beseech Thee, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, in the name of Muhammad and the children of Muhammad, to send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, 

 to put to flight the sorrows, the anxieties, the burdens, now surrounding me from all sides, 

 just as Thou made Thy Prophet free of his sorrows, anxieties and burden, and saved him from the terror of his enemies, 

 in such manner as Thou made him to do so, let me also do the same, let me be free of care as Thou gave him joy, heart and confidence, let me have enough and be contented as Thou gave him sufficiently. 

 Send away from me the terror that frightens me, the encumbrance that I find burdensome, 

 the anxieties that wear me down, freeing me from their impact. 

 Make me use my means freely to carry out and complete my business or employment, and do anything requisite instead of another which may make me anxious about my affairs in this world or the hereafter. 

 O Ameerul Momineen! O Abaa Abdullah! So far I am alive and the days and nights follow each other I invoke Allah to send blessingson you for ever and ever.  

 May Allah not make my this pledge of physical and spiritual close association with you )both( the last fulfilment, and may Allah not separate me and you )both( from one another. 

 O my Allah let me have a meaningful existence as Muhammad and his descendants had lived, and die as they departed from this world, take to and carry out completely their creed; 

 and raise me for the last judgement alongwith the people dedicated to them, and do not cut in two )groups(, even for the flash of an eyelid, ever, either in this world or in the life of the hereafter. 

 O Ameerul Momineen! O Abaa Abdullah! I come nearer to you )both( to establish close physical and spiritual relationship, and thereby seek nearness to Allah, my Lord-Noursher and your Lord-Nourisher, 

 through you I direct myself towards Him, and request you to speak in favour of my immediate at hand needs and wants I have put before Allah. 

 So please speak well of me because, of course, with Allah your thoughtful judgement is highly credible, your disposition enjoys conclusive preference, your action keeps step with precise acumen, and a sure means of approach to gain His favour. 

 I looked for and went through all possibilities and finally brought myself over to you in the hope of obtaining, speedily and successfully, fulfilment of my demands, their final settlement and favourable execution by Allah on account of your recommendations on my behalf to get Allah'sapproval. So let not my "seeing the light" be a bitter 

 and "fallen short" change of heart, but make my " accepting the true faith" resolution a turning point leading to preference and full satisfaction in the matter of the disposal of my wants and needs; 

 and direct me to bring myself over to that which Allah wills and commands, )because( there is no power and no might save Allah. 

 I commit my case to Allah, anything neglected or taking place behind my back shall be taken care of by Allah, I entrust Allah with the management of my affairs, 

 and say: Allah is sufficient and enough, Allah pays attention to whoso makes a request to Him, there is nothing for me in that which is on the other side )in opposition( of Allah, and you, O my leaders 

 ultimately that which my Lord Nourisher wills takes place, and happens not that which He wills not. There is no power and no might save in Allah. 

 Unto you )both( I have come with love and affection, motivated under Divine incentive. May Allah not make my this pledge of physical and spiritual close association with you )both( the last fulfilment. 

 I take advantage O my leader, O Ameeral Moomineen, O my friend to whom I have surrendered, body and soul, and you O Abaa Abdullah, O my leader, 

 and pay my respects with love and affection, nonstop, )till( do not carry days and nights, closely embracing it, to you, if Allah so wills, without ever being separated, 

 in your names I beseech Him, that He wills it and does it because verily it is He who alone is praised, and He brings about beautiful things. 

 I see the light and bring myself over to you, accepting the truefaith, sorry for my earlier ignorance, thankful to Allah, always hopeful of getting His favour, never giving into despair, nor losing heart; 

 ever ready to be near you, coming back again and again to see you, never "not longing" for your nearness, 

 but, if Allah so wills, shall be always in your neighborhood as an every day habit. There is no power and no might save in Allah. 

 O my leaders I long for you and love to be in your company though the wordly people looked at it with indifference and kept aloof from your friendly intercourse. 

 May not Allah let me fall short of in that which I hope for and in that which I look long and attentively to establish everlasting reunion with you. Verily He is near and gives positive answer to prayers.
