O Allah! Condemn and punish the licentious profligates who make
the life of Thy Messenger miserable; and waged was against Thy
close friends, and worshipped others, (but ) not Thee, deemed
lawful (that which) Thou had forbidden, bring a curse upon their
leaders, followers, on those who were in them , secretly or
distinctly were hand in glove with them, or condoning their (mis)
deeds. A great many curses.

O my Allah, bid to bring joy and happiness quickly for “Aali
Muhammad”, (the children of Muhammad), bestow Thy blessings
on him and on them, save them from the dangerous clutches of the
undercover two-timers, and the obstinate disbelievers; open ofr
them the doors of “the beginning”, a facility to put in
practice gentleness, kindness and fairplay; create favourable
conditions for them to make life full of love and thought,
cheerful, free of care, as early as possible, on Thy authority
let them have full control over Thy enemies, to help, rescue and
defend (mankind).

O my Allah! Indeed a great many among the people declared war,
laid traps and intrigued against the careful and gentle guardians
who observed and fulfilled the duty. The ungratefuls (the said
opponents) renounced the faith and did not, in fact, believe in
the “Kalimah” (LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAAH); attached themselves
to the trend setters of disorder and tyranny; disowned and gave
up the Book and the (Divine) rule of life; swerved from and
angled off the two strings which according to Thy commandment,
(they) should have held fast and stuck close by; undermined and
twisted the truth;

Went, away from the real purpose, in the opposite direction ;
encouraged partisanship;

Altered and falsified the Book; refused to believe in the evident
proof and rightful clain, whenever confronted face to face; chose
falsehood, whenever came across; lost their way and corrupted Thy
laws, Islam; led people astray; killed the children of Thy
Prophet, Thy liberal highminded servances, bearers of Thy
knowledge, inheritors of Thy wisdom and revelation, the Book. O
myAllah, pset and overturn the plan and movement of Thy enemies,
(who are also) the enemies of Thy Messenger and the children of
Thy Messenger. O my Allah, put a stop to the spread of their
sphere of influence; make their equipment and men unserviceable,
their expression confused and contradictory; brak up their
support; crack up their stategy; lay hold upon them, hit and cut
off by Thy one sharp strike; throw them down, frightened by Thy
hard unnerving barrier, bury them under the swallowing mud of
disasters; let them be mean and contemptible under the yoke of
despise-able penance; bring them to book and let them have the
taste of a hard and sharp retribution; fester them with definite
and exemplary punishment, as Thou wipes out Thy enemies; it is
beyond the shadow of doubt that Thou cracks down upon the
criminals. O my Allah, the way of life approved by Thee has been
tossed aside; Thy code of law has been suspended; and the
descendents of the Prophet, in this world, had been tormented. O
my Allah, Therefore give all Thy attention and care to signify
truth, and the upholders of truth; restrain and prevent
falsehood, and the camp-followers of false-hood, and take us to
safety as a favour; guide us to true faith; make available for
us, as soon as possible, happiness and bliss, bring everything in
to good order through the inspiring presence of Thy
representatives; make us desire and love them , make them receive
us with open arms. O my Allah, bring to nothing those who
celebrate the day the choicest (grand) son of Thy Prophet was
martyred, in cheerful amusement; laugh and enjoy in utter delight
and indulge in wanton bois-terous merriment; catch hold of and
punish each one of the remaining, just as Thou cracked down on
the early (culprits); make twoce as muchthe penalty, O my Allah,
and punishment, a warning example, (while convicting0 the tyrants
who took liberties with and abused the children of Thy Prophet;
give the eath blow to their henchmen, put an en to their headmen,
wipe out their patrons and their groups altogether. O my Allah,
multiply Thy blessings generously, Thy mercy liberally, Thy
favours like a windfall, (thou bestows) upon the children of Thy
Prophet, who Thy enemies tried to ignore, frighten and corner,
the children who are the blooming pride of the fragrant strongly
grown and fertile tree. Let people subscribe to and uphold, O my
Allah, their expressed refined (thoughts), and get the better of
the antagonists in debate and disputations through their
arguments, put the dark clouds of trouble, distress nothingness
and ignorance, to flight, through (on account of) them, make firm
and strong the hearts and minds of their followers (to know
things for certain and give correct answers), to belong to Thy
party, obedient to Thee; to love them; to support them ; stand by
them, signify them; they exercised self-control whenever they put
up with damage and injury in Thy cause; bring in, for them, the
days, people will see them and find them among themselves to
pronounce the profession of true faith, a blissful and happy
time;

Be quick in providing relief and joy, after a long period of
suffering (to them and us), on account of their presence; bring
on their worthy, decent and refined sphere of influence; and
support them as Thou has given a guarantee in this connection in
Thy revealed Book; Thou said, (and Thy words are always true):
Allah has promised such of you as believe and do good deed that
He will surely appoint them successors in the earth, as He
appointed successors those before them, and that He will surely
establish for them

Their religion which He has chosen for them, and surely He will
give them inexchange safety after their fear. Thy (shall) ascribe
nothing as partner unto Me. O my Allah! Therefore disperse the
dark clouds hanging over them, no one has power to keep safe from
pair and distress save He, O Unique ! O Single ! O Everliving ! O
Self-subsisting! I, O my Allah, Thy bondman, cautions and
(always) aware of Thy just requital, turn to Thee with a request,
standing before Thee, to seek the favour of taking refuge with
Thee, in Thy courtyard, fully aware of the fact that there is no
way to run away from Thee except unto Thee. O my Allah, accede to
my request, take notice of my positive statement and heartfelt
secret avowal, O my Allah, and let me be the one whose conduct
satisfies Thee, (whose) pious life devoted to Thee receives Thy
approval, (whom) Thou brings to a place of safety through Thy
mercy; verily Thou art rare, dear and beloved (because of ) Thy
kindness. O my Allah, send blessings, in the beginning and at the
end, on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad; keep at peace
at all times, Muhammad and the children of Muhammad, let Thy love
and tenderness always envelop Muhammad and the children of
Muhammad, more thoroughly and decisively than Thou had blessed,
kept at peace and loved Thy Prophets, Messengers, Angels and the
bearers of Thy Arsh, in the name of and for the sake of “LAA
ILAAHA ILLAA ANTA”. O my Allah, let there be no separation
(ever) between me and Muhammad and the children of Muhammad, Thy
blessings be on him and them; let me be one among the friends and
followers of Muhammad, Ali, Faatimah, Hasan aned Husayn, and
their pure and select descendants; give me the insight to cling
to their friendship, and be always ready to walk with them, and
make use of their life style; Verily Thou art liberal, Generous
and Kind,

(Now go into prostration (Sajdah), keep either side of your face
on the earth, one after the other, and say):

O He who decrees that which He wills, does that which He wants.
It is Thou who possesses and exercises absolute power; therefore
(all) praise is for Thee (only); (Thou alone art) the
praiseworthy, the thankworthy. O my Master, let them have a life
full of love and peace, and let us share the harmony and bliss
with them, because Thou has given a guarantee to put them on the
highest pedestal of love, honour and wisdom, after the severest
trial and tribulation, to do too much for them , exceeding all
bounds, after they had put up with the worldly minimum (in Thy
cause), to make them distinct and evident after (Thy enemies)
kept them in obscurity, O the Most Truthful ! O the Most
Merciful! I beseech Thee, O my Lord, and Master, humble and weak
before Thee, to throw wide open doors of Thy generosity and
kindness to let my hope (of fulfillment of heart’s
desires)come true, and get and ather what I want in surplus; and
make valid my deeds, whether insignificant looking or weighty,
prolong my days until I am satisfied with being an eye-witness,
and give testimony, and be among those who are called upon, so
run to obey them, love them and support them (the descendents of
the Holy Prophet);

Make me see that very soon, close at hand, in good health sund
mind and with believing heart. Verily Thou art able to do all
things

(raise your head, look towards the sky and say ):

in Thee do I seek refuge that I should be among those who hope
not for Thy “Days”, so make me full well and be there, O
my Master, through Thy mercy, in that time.
