O Allah, (please) convey to my master the Patron of the Age,

صَلَوَاتُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ

عَنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ

`an jami` almu'minina walmu'minati

on behalf of all the believing men and women

فِي مَشَارِقِ ٱلأَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبِهَا

fi mashariqi al-ardi wa magharibiha

in the east and west sides of the earth,

وَبَرِّهَا وَبَحْرِهَا

and on behalf of my parents, my descendants, and me,

مِنَ ٱلصَّلَوَاتِ وَٱلتَّحِيَّاتِ

min alssalawati walttahiyyati

(convey to him) such blessings and greetings

زِنَةَ عَرْشِ ٱللَّهِ

zinata `arshi allahi

that are as heavy as the measure of the Throne of Allah,

وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

wa midada kalimatihi

as much as the ink of His words,

وَمُنْتَهَىٰ رِضَاهُ

wa muntaha ridahu

as endless as His pleasure,

وَعَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَاهُ كِتَابُهُ

wa `adada ma ahsahu kitabuhu

and as many as all that which has been calculated by His Books

وَأَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُهُ

wa ahata bihi `ilmuhu

and comprehended by His knowledge.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُجَدِّدُ لَهُ

O Allah, I update to him

فِي هٰذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ

وَفِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ

wa fi kulli yawmin

and on all days

عَهْداً وَعَقْداً وَبَيْعَةً فِي رَقَبَتِي

`ahdan wa `aqdan wa bay`atan fi raqabati

a pledge, a covenant, and an allegiance to which I commit up to my neck.

اَللَّهُمَّ كَمَا شَرَّفْتَنِي بِهٰذَا ٱلتَّشْرِيفِ

allahumma kama sharraftani bihadha alttashrifi

O Allah, just as You have endued me with this honor,

وَفَضَّلْتَنِي بِهٰذِهِ ٱلْفَضِيلَةِ

wa faddaltani bihadhihi alfadilati

conferred upon me this virtue,

وَخَصَصْتَنِي بِهٰذِهِ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ

wa khasastani bihadhihi alnni`mati

and granted me exclusively this bounty,

فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلاَيَ وَسَيِّدِي

fasalli `ala mawlaya wa sayyidi

so also (please) send blessings upon my master and chief,

صَاحِبِ ٱلزَّمَانِ

sahibi alzzamani

the patron of the age,

وَٱجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَنْصَارِهِ

with full willingness and without compulsion,

فِي ٱلصَّفِّ ٱلَّذِي نَعَتَّ أَهْلَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ

fi alssaffi alladhi na`atta ahlahu fi kitabika

in the line whose people have been described in Your Book

فَقُلْتَ «صَفّاً كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيَانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ»

faqulta saffan ka'annahum bunyanun marsusun

where You say, “… one line as if they were a firm and compact wall,”

عَلَىٰ طَاعَتِكَ

`ala ta`atika

and with obedience to You

وَطَاعَةِ رَسُولِكَ وَآلِهِ

wa ta`ati rasulika wa alihi

and obedience to Your Messenger and his Household,

عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّلاَمُ

`alayhim as-salamu

peace be upon them.

اَللَّهُمَّ هٰذِهِ بَيْعَةٌ لَهُ فِي عُنُقِي
