allahumma inni laka sallaytu wa laka raka`tu wa laka sajadtu wahdaka la sharika laka fa'innahu la tajuzu alssalatu walrruku`u walssujudu illa laka li'annaka anta allahu alladhi la ilaha illa anta allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin wa ablighhum `anni afdala alssalami walttahiyyati wardud `alayya minhum alssalama allahumma wa hatani alrrak`atani hadiyyatun minni ila sayyidi alhusayni ibni `aliyyin `alayhima alssalamu

Translation

O Allah, I have offered a prayer for You and I have genuflected and prostrated myself for You alone without setting any partner to You, because prayers, genuflections, and prostrations are illegal for anyone save You, because You are Allah; there is no god save You. O Allah, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, convey to them the most favorite salutations and greetings from me, and convey to me their response to my greeting. O Allah, these two units of prayer are a present from me to my master al-Husayn the son of `Ali, peace be upon both of them.

Translation

O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon him, accept these two units of prayer from me, and reward me for them by granting me the best of my hope and expectation in you and in Your Friend, O Guardian of the believers! Peace be upon al-Husayn the son of `Ali, the wronged and martyred, the victim of shed tears, and the captive of agonies. O Allah, I do bear witness that he is Your intimate friend and the son of Your intimate friend and Your choicest one who revolted to demand with Your right. You have thus honored him with Your honor, sealed his lifetime with martyrdom,

wa ja`altahu sayyidan min alssadati wa qa'idan min alqadati wa akramtahu bitibi alwiladati wa a`taytahu maAshura al-anbiya'i wa ja`altahu hujjatan `ala khalqika min al-awsiya'i fa'a`dhara fi alddu`a'i wa manaha alnnasihata wa badhala muhjatahu fika hatta istanqadha `ibadaka min aljahalati wa hayrati alddalalati wa qad tawazara `alayhi man gharrat-hu alddunya wa ba`a hazzahu min al-akhirati bil-adna wa taradda fi hawahu

Translation

made him one of the chiefs and one of the leaders, honored him with immaculate birth, gave him the inheritances of the prophets, and made him argument against Your creatures and one of the Successors. So, he called to You flawlessly, gave advice, and sacrificed himself for Your sake until he could save Your servants from ignorance and perplexity of straying off. Yet, those whom were seduced by this worldly life, those who sold their share of the Hereafter with the lowly price, those who perished because of following their desires,

Translation

those who brought to themselves Your wrath and the wrath of Your Prophet, and those who obeyed the dissident and hypocritical servants of You and the bearers of the burdens (of sins) who deserve Hellfire—all those supported each other against him; so, he fought against them with steadfastness and expectation of Your reward, facing them courageously, never turning back, and never fearing the blame of anyone concerning carrying out his duty towards You until his blood was shed while he was in obedience to You and his inviolability was also infringed. O Allah, curse them with incessant curses and chastise them with painful chastisement
