وَٱلعُرْوَةُ ٱلوُثْقَىٰ
wal`urwatu alwuthqa
the Firmest Handle,
وَٱلْحُجَّةُ عَلَىٰ اهْلِ ٱلدُّنْيَا
walhujjatu `ala ahli alddunya
and the arguments against the inhabitants in this world.
اَللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ ٱلعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ نَبِيِّكَ
allahumma la tajalhu akhira alahdi min ziyarati nabiyyika

peace be upon him and his Household.
وَإِنْ تَوَفَّيْتَنِي فَإِنِّي اشْهَدُ فِي مَمَاتِي

If you decide to grasp my soul, I will bear witness in my death,
عَلَىٰ مَا اشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ فِي حَيَاتِي
ala ma ashhadu alayhi fi hayati
as same as I have born witness in my lifetime,
انَّكَ انْتَ ٱللَّهُ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ انْتَ
annaka anta allahu la ilaha illa anta
that Your are verily Allah; there is no god save You,
وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ
wahdaka la sharika laka
alone without having any associate,
وَاَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ
wa anna muhammadan `abduka wa rasuluka
that Muhammad is Your servant and Messenger,
وَانَّ ٱلائِمَّةَ مِنْ اهْلِ بَيْتِهِ اوْلِيَاؤُكَ وَانْصَارُكَ
wa anna al-a'immata min ahli baytihi awliya'uka wa ansaruka
and that the Imams from his Household are Your intimate servants, Your supporters,
وَحُجَجُكَ عَلَىٰ خَلْقِكَ
wa hujajuka `ala khalqika
Your Arguments against Your creatures,
وَخُلَفَاؤُكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ

Your representatives amongst Your servants,
وَاعْلامُكَ فِي بِلاَدِكَ
wa a`lamuka fi biladika
Your signs in Your lands,
وَخُزَّانُ عِلْمِكَ
wa khuzzanu `ilmika
the custodians of Your knowledge,
وَحَفَظَةُ سِرِّكَ
wa hafazatu sirrika
the keepers of Your secret,
وَتَرَاجِمَةُ وَحْيِكَ
wa tarajimatu wahyika
and the interpreters of Your Revelation.
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
O Allah, (please do) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad
وَبَلِّغْ رُوحَ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ

and convey to the souls of Your Prophet, Muhammad, and his Household,
فِي سَاعَتِي هٰذِهِ وَفِي كُلِّ سَاعَةٍ
