staying in your vicinity,

يَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَشْفَعَ لَهُ إِلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ فِي قَضَاءِ حَاجَتِهِ

yas'aluka an tashfa`a lahu ila allahi fi qada'i hajatihi

(I) beg you to intercede for me before Allah that He may grant my needs

وَنُجْحِ طَلِبَتِهِ فِي ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ

wa nujhi talibatihi fi alddunya wal-akhirati

and may respond to my requests for this life as well as the life to come,

فَإِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْجَاهَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ

fa'inna laka `inda allahi aljaha al`azima

because you enjoy an enormous position with Allah,

وَٱلشَّفَاعَةَ ٱلْمَقْبُولَةَ

walshshafa`ata almaqbulata

as well as admitted right of intercession.

فَٱجْعَلْنِي يَا مَوْلاَيَ مِنْ هَمِّكَ

faj`alni ya mawlaya min hammika

So, O my master, include me with those for whom you care

وَأَدْخِلْنِي فِي حِزْبِكَ

wa adkhilni fi hizbika

and include me with your party.

وَٱلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰ ضَجِيعَيْكَ آدَمَ وَنُوحٍ

wa alssalamu `alayka wa `ala daji`ayka adama wa nuhin

Peace be upon you and upon your partners in place; Adam and Noah.

وَٱلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰ وَلَدَيْكَ ٱلْحَسَنِ وَٱلْحُسَيْنِ

wa as-salamu `alayka wa `ala waladayka alhasani walhusayni

Peace be upon you and upon your two sons; al-Hasan and al-Husayn,

وَعَلَىٰ ٱلأَئِمَّةِ ٱلطَّاهِرِينَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ

wa `ala al-a'immati alttahirina min dhurriyyatika

and upon the immaculate Imams from your progeny.

وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

wa rahmatu allahi wa barakatuhu

Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you.

 

 

You may then offer a six-unit prayer of ziyarah; two for visiting Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him), two for visiting Prophet Adam (peace be upon him), and two for visiting Prophet Noah (peace be upon him). You may also supplicate Almighty Allah as earnestly as possible, for your prayers are responded at this place, Allah willing.
