wa ashhadu annakumu al-a'immatu alrrashiduna almuhtaduna

I also bear witness that you are the orthodox, well-guided Leaders,

وَانَّ طَاعَتَكُمْ مَفْرُوضَةٌ

wa anna ta`atakum mafrudatun

that the obedience to you is obligatory,

وَانَّ قَوْلَكُمُ ٱلصِّدْقُ

wa anna qawlakumu alssidqu

that your words are true,

وَانَّكُمْ دَعْوَتُمْ فَلَمْ تُجَابُوٱ

wa annakum da`awtum falam tujabu

that you had called (to Allah) but you were not answered,

وَامَرْتُمْ فَلَمْ تُطَاعُوٱ

wa amartum falam tuta`u

that you had enjoined (the right) but you were not obeyed,

وَانَّكُمْ دَعَائِمُ ٱلدِّينِ وَارْكَانُ ٱلارْضِ

and that you are the supports of the religion and the poses of the earth.

لَمْ تَزَالُوٱ بِعَيْنِ ٱللَّهِ

lam tazalu bi`ayni allahi

You were always under the sight of Allah

يَنْسَخُكُمْ مِنْ اصْلاَبِ كُلِّ مُطَّهَرٍ

Who moved you from the loins of purified men

to the wombs of purified women.

لَمْ تُدَنِّسْكُمُ ٱلْجَاهِلِيَّةُ ٱلْجَهْلاَءُ

The benighted ignorance could not stain you

وَلَمْ تَشْرَكْ فِيكُمْ فِتَنُ ٱلاهْوَاءِ

wa lam tashrak fikum fitanu al-ahwa'i

and the whimsical sedition could not attract you.

طِبْتُمْ وَطَابَ مَنْبَتُكُمْ

tibtum wa taba manbatukum

Pleased be you as your origin has been pleased.

مَنَّ بِكُمْ عَلَيْنَا دَيَّانُ ٱلدِّينِ

manna bikum `alayna dayyanu alddini

The King of the religion has conferred upon us with the grace of our acknowledgment of you;

فَجَعَلَكُمْ فِي بُيُوتٍ

faja`alakum fi buyutin

He therefore caused you to be in houses

اذِنَ ٱللَّهُ انْ تُرْفَعَ

adhina allahu an turfa`a

which He (i.e. Allah) has permitted to be exalted

وَيُذْكَرَ فِيهَا ٱسْمُهُ

wa yudhkara fiha ismuhu

and that His Name may be mentioned therein,

وَجَعَلَ صَلاَتَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ

wa ja`ala salatana `alaykum

and He has decided our invocations of blessings upon you

رَحْمَةً لَنَا وَكَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِنَا

rahmatan lana wa kaffaratan lidhunubina

to be mercy on us and to be granting remission of our sins.

إِذِ ٱخْتَارَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا

idhi ikhtarakumu allahu lana

Allah has chosen you for us

وَطَيَّبَ خَلْقَنَا بِمَا مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ وِلاَيَتِكُمْ

wa tayyaba khalqana bima manna `alayna min wilayatikum

and has purified our creation through the grace of our loyalty to your (Divinely commissioned) Leadership with which He has conferred upon us.

وَكُنَّا عِنْدَهُ مُسَمِّينَ بِعِلْمِكُمْ

wa kunna `indahu musammina bi`ilmikum

We have thus become nominated with Him due to our acknowledgement of you

مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِتَصْدِيقِنَا إِيَّاكُمْ

mu`tarifina bitasdiqina iyyakum

and our giving credence to you.

وَهٰذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ اسْرَفَ وَاخْطَا

wa hadha maqamu man asrafa wa akhta'a

So, this is the situation of him who has committed mistakes and sins,

وَٱسْتَكَانَ وَاقَرَّ بِمَا جَنَىٰ

wastakana wa aqarra bima jana

shown submission (to you), and confessed of what he had committed.

وَرَجَا بِمَقَامِهِ ٱلْخَلاَصَ

wa raja bimaqamihi alkhalasa

Hence, being in this situation, I hope for redemption

وَانْ يَسْتَنْقِذَهُ بِكُمْ مُسْتَنْقِذُ ٱلْهَلْكَىٰ مِنَ ٱلرَّدَىٰ

wa an yastanqidhahu bikum

and I hope that the Savior of the perishing ones from perdition may save me in your names.

فَكُونُوٱ لِي شُفَعَاءَ

mustanqidhu alhalka min alrrada

So, (please) be my interceders,

فَقَدْ وَفَدْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ

fakunu li shufa`a'a

for I have come to you

إِذْ رَغِبَ عَنْكُمْ اهْلُ ٱلدُّنْيَا

faqad wafadtu ilaykum

when the people of this world abandoned you,

وَٱتَّخَذُوٱ آيَاتِ ٱللَّهِ هُزُواً

idh raghiba `ankum ahlu alddunya

took the Signs of Allah for a jest,

وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوٱ عَنْهَا

wattakhadhu ayati allahi huzwan

and turned away from them haughtily.

يَا مَنْ هُوَ قَائِمٌ لاََ يَسْهُو

ya man huwa qa'imun la yashu

O He Who is Self-Subsisting and never forgets,

وَدَائِمٌ لاََ يَلْهُو

wa da'imun la yalhu

Who is Ever-living and never becomes heedless,

وَمُحيطٌ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ

wa muhitun bikulli shay'in

and Who encompasses all things!

لَكَ ٱلْمَنُّ بِمَا وَفَّقْتَنِي

laka almannu bima waffaqtani

To You is all gratitude for that You have guided me (to this)

وَعَرَّفْتَنِي بِمَا اقَمْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ

wa `arraftani bima aqamtani `alayhi

and You have introduced to me that on which I rest,

إِذْ صَدَّ عَنْهُ عِبَادُكَ

idh sadda `anhu `ibaduka

when Your servants diverted from it,

وَجَهِلُوٱ مَعْرِفَتَهُ

wa jahilu ma`rifatahu

ignored the recognition of it,

وَٱسْتَخَفُّوٱ بِحَقِّهِ

wastakhaffu bihaqqihi

belittled its right,

وَمَالُوٱ إِلَىٰ سِوَاهُ

wa malu ila siwahu

and inclined to elsewhere.

فَكَانَتِ ٱلْمِنَّةُ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ

fakanat alminnatu minka `alayya

Hence, You have conferred upon me with this favor

مَعَ اقْوَامٍ خَصَصْتَهُمْ بِمَا خَصَصْتَنِي بِهِ

ma`a aqwamin khasastahum bima khasastani bihi

as well as upon other people whom You have granted exclusively the same.

فَلَكَ ٱلْحَمْدُ إِذْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَكَ

falaka alhamdu idh kuntu `indaka

So, all praise be to You, for I have been

فِي مَقَامِي هٰذَا مَذْكُوراً مَكْتُوباً

fi maqami hadha madhkuran maktuban

mentioned and written with You due to the situation in which I am now.

فَلاَ تَحْرِمْنِي مَا رَجَوْتُ

fala tahrimni ma rajawtu

Hence, (please) do not deprive me of what I long for,

وَلاَ تُخَيِّبْنِي فِي مَا دَعَوْتُ

wa la tukhayyibni fi ma da`awtu

and do not disappoint me as regards my supplication;

بِحُرْمَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ ٱلطَّاهِرِينَ

bihurmati muhammadin wa alihi alttahirina

(please do so) in the name of the sanctity of Muhammad and his immaculate Household.

وَصَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

wa salla allahu `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin

May Allah send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad.

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ ائِمَّةَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

I entrust you with Allah([1]) and send salutations to you.

We believe in Allah and in the Messenger

وَبِمَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِ وَدَلَلْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ
