Then say the following:
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ
ash-hadu an la ilaha illa allahu
I bear witness that there is no god save Allah;
وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ
wahdahu la sharika lahu
alone without having any partner;
وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُهُ
wa ash-hadu annaka rasuluhu
and I bear witness that you are His messenger
وَأَنَّكَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِٱللَّهِ
wa annaka muhammadu bnu `abdillahi
and you are Muhammad, the son of `Abdullah.
وَأَشْهَدُ أَنّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالاتِ رَبِّكَ
wa ash-hadu annaka qad ballaghta risalati rabbika
And I bear witness that you have truly conveyed the missions of your Lord,
وَنَصَحْتَ لأُمَّتِكَ
wa nasahta li’ummatika
well-wished for your nation,
وَجَاهَدْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ
wa jahadta fi sabili allahi
striven hard in the way of Allah
بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْمَوْعِظَةِ ٱلحَسَنَةِ

by means of wisdom and excellent preaching,
وَأَدَّيْتَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلحَقِّ
wa addayta alladhi `alayka mina alhaqqi
and fulfilled the duty that is incumbent upon you;
وَأَنَّكَ قَدْ رَؤُفْتَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa annaka qad ra’ufta bilmu’minina
and you have been sympathetic with the believers
وَغَلَظْتَ عَلَىٰ ٱلكَافِرِينَ
wa ghalazta `ala alkafirina
and unyielding to the unbelievers;
وَعَبَدْتَ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصاً
wa `abadta allaha mukhlisan
and you have worshipped Allah sincerely
حَتَّىٰ أَتَاكَ ٱليَقِينُ
hatta ataka alyaqinu
until death came upon you.
فَبَلَغَ ٱللَّهُ بِكَ أَشْرَفَ مَحَلِّ ٱلْمُكَرَّمِينَ
fabalagha allahu bika ashrafa mahalli almukarramina
Allah therefore has lifted you up to the most honorable place of the honored ones.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ٱسْتَنْقَذَنَا بِكَ
alhamdu lillahi alladhi istanqadhana bika

And grant him preference, virtue,
وَٱلوَسِيلَةَ وَٱلدَّرَجَةَ ٱلرَّفِيعَةَ

[right of] mediation, and sublime rank;
وَٱبْعَثْهُ مَقَاماً مَحْمُوداً
wab`ath-hu maqaman mahmudan
and send him a praiseworthy status
يَغْبِطُهُ بِهِ ٱلأَوَّلُونَ وَٱلآخِرُونَ
yaghbituhu bihi al-awwaluna wal-akhiruna
which all the past and the late generations wish to have.
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ:
allahumma innaka qulta
O Allah, You have said:
﴿وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوٱ أَنفُسَهُمْ
wa law annahum idh zalamu anfusahum
“And had they, when they were unjust to themselves,
جَاءُوكَ فَٱسْتَغْفَرُوا ٱللَّهَ
ja’uka fastaghfaru allaha
come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah,
وَٱسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ
wastaghfara lahumu alrrasulu
and the Messenger had also asked forgiveness for them,
لَوَجَدُوٱ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً
lawajadu allaha tawwaban rahiman
they would have found Allah Oft-returning to mercy, Merciful.”
إِلٰهِي فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ نَبِيَّكَ مُسْتَغْفِراً
ilahi faqad ataytu nabiyyaka mustaghfiran
O my God, I have come to Your Prophet, seeking forgiveness of You
تَائِباً مِنْ ذُنُوبِي
ta’iban min dhunubi
and repenting before You from my sins;
فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
fasalli `ala muhammadin wa alihi
so, (please) send blessings to Muhammad and his Household
وَٱغْفِرْهَا لِي
waghfirha li
and forgive them for me.
يَا سَيِّدَنَا
ya sayyidana
O our master,
أَتَوَجَّهُ بِكَ وَبِأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ
atawajjahu bika wa bi-ahli baytika
I turn by you and by your Household
إِلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ تَعَالَىٰ رَبِّكَ وَرَبِّي
ila allahi ta`ala rabbika wa rabbi
towards Allah, the Exalted, your and my Lord,
لِيَغْفِرَ لِي
liyaghfira li
so that He may forgive me.
Then repeat the following three times:
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji`una
Verily, we are Allah’s and verily unto Him shall we return.

We are stricken by losing you, O beloved of our hearts!

Too shocking is our misfortune of losing you!
حيَْثُ ٱنْقَطَعَ عَنَّا ٱلْوَحْيُ
haythu inqata`a `anna alwahyu
Because the Revelation has been interrupted
وَحَيْثُ فَقَدْنَاكَ
wa haythu faqadnaka
and because we have missed you.
فَإنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
fa inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji`una
Nevertheless, we are Allah’s and to Him shall we return.
يَا سَيِّدَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللّهِ
ya sayyidana ya rasula allahi
O our master, O Allah’s Messenger!
صَلَوَاتُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ بَيْتِكَ ٱلطَّاهِرِينَ
salawatu allahi `alayka wa `ala ali baytika alttahirina
May Allah’s blessings be upon you and upon your Household, the immaculate.

and on this day I am your guest and in your vicinity;
فَأَضِفْنِي وَأَجِرْنِي
fa-adifni wa ajirni
so, receive me as your guest and as your neighbor.
فَإنَّكَ كَرِيمٌ تُحِبُّ ٱلضِّيَافَةَ
fa innaka karimun tuhibbu alddiyafata
Indeed, you are generous and hospitable
وَمَاْمُورٌ بِٱلإِجَارَةِ

So, receive me as your guest and treat me hospitably;
وَأَجِرْنَا وَأَحْسِنْ إِجَارَتَنَا
wa ajirna wa ahsin ijaratana
and accept us as your neighbors and treat us in due hospitability;
بِمَنْزِلَةِ ٱللَّهِ عِنْدَكَ وَعِنْدَ آلِ بَيْتِكَ
bimanzilati allahi `indaka wa `inda ali baytika
[I ask you] in the name of Allah’s standing with you and with your Household
وَبِمَنْزِلَتِهِمْ عِنْدَهُ
wa bimanzilatihim `indahu
and in the name of their standing with Him
وَبِمَا ٱسْتَوْدَعَكُمْ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ
wa bima istawda`akum min `ilmihi
and in the name of the knowledge that He has entrusted with you all.
فَإنَّهُ أَكْرَمُ ٱلأَكْرَمِينَ
fa’innahu akramu al-akramina
Verily, He is the most generous of all those who show generosity.
