Ziyarat of Arbaeen
Peace be upon the intimate servant of Allah and His most-beloved.
Peace be upon the friend of Allah and His elite.
Peace be upon the choice of Allah and son of His choice.
Peace be upon al-Husayn the wronged and martyred.
Peace be upon the captive of agonies
and victim of the shed tears.
O Allah, I do bear witness
that he is verily Your deputy and son of Your deputy,
Your choice and son of Your choice
and the winner of Your honoring
You have honored him with martyrdom,
endued him with happiness
privileged him with legitimate birth
made him one of the chiefs
one of the leaders
and one of the defenders (of Your religion)
gave him the inheritances of the Prophets
and chose him as argument against Your created beings and one of the Prophets’ successors.
So, he called to you flawlessly,
gave advices
and sacrificed his soul for You
to save Your servants from ignorance
and the confusion of straying off
Yet, those who were seduced by this worldly life,
who sold their share (of reward) with the lowliest and meanest,
retailed their Hereafter with the cheapest price,
acted haughtily, perished because of following their desires,
brought to themselves Your wrath and the wrath of Your Prophet,
and 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.
However, he fought against them painstakingly with steadfastness expecting Your reward
until his blood was shed on account of his obedience to You
and his women were violated.
So, O Allah, pour heavy curses on them
and chastise them with painful chastisement.
Peace be upon you, O son of Allah’s Messenger.
Peace be upon you, O son of the chief of the Prophets’ successors.
I bear witness that you are verily the trustee of Allah and the son of His trustee.
You lived with happiness,
passed away with praiseworthiness,
and died missed, wronged, and martyred.
I also bear witness that Allah shall inevitably fulfill His promise to You,
exterminate those who disappointed you,
I also bear witness that you fulfilled your pledge to Allah
and strove hard in His way until death
So, may Allah curse those who slew you.
May Allah curse those who wronged you
May Allah curse the people who, when informed about that, were okay with it.
O Allah, I do ask You to witness for me that
I am loyal to those who are loyal to him
and enemy of his enemies.
May my father and mother be your ransoms, O son of Allah's Messenger
I bear witness that you were light in the sublime loins
and purified wombs
the impurities of the Ignorance Era could not subject you to filth
nor could its murky clothes dress you
I also bear witness that you are one of the mainstays of the religion,
the supports of Muslims,
and the haven of the believers
I also bear witness that you are the Godfearing, pious,
pleased, immaculate
a guide, and a well-guided Imam
And I bear witness that the Imams from your progeny
are the words of piety,
the signs of guidance,
the firmest handle (to Allah)
and the decisive Argument against the inhabitants of the world.
I also bear witness that I believe in you all and in your Return,
I have full confidence in the laws of my religion and in the seals of my deeds,
my heart is at peace with you all,
all my affairs are based on your commands,
and my support for you all is already all set
until Allah permits you.
So, I am with you. I am with you,
not with your enemies
Allah’s blessings be upon you
upon your souls, upon your bodies,
upon the present and the absent from you,
and upon the apparent and the invisible from you.
Respond to us, O Lord of the Worlds
