كُنْتَ كَما قالَ رَسُولُ الله صَلّى الله عَلَيهِ وَآلِهِ: قَوِياً فِي بَدَنِكَ مُتَواضِعاً فِي نَفْسِكَ عَظِيماً عِنْدَ الله كَبِيراً فِي الأَرضِ جَلِيلاً فِي السَّماء لَمْ يَكُنْ لاَحَدٍ فِيكَ مَهْمَزٌ وَلا لِقائِلٍ فِيكَ مَغْمَزٌ وَلا لِخَلْقٍ فِيكَ مَطْمَعٌ وَلا لأحَدٍ عِنْدَكَ هَوادَةٌ يُوجَدُ الضَّعِيفُ الذَّلِيلُ عِنْدَكَ قَوِياً عَزِيزاً حَتّى تَأْخُذَ لَهُ بِحَقِّهِ وَالقَوِيُّ العَزِيزُ عِنْدَكَ ضَعِيفاً حَتّى تَأْخُذَ مِنْهُ الحَقَّ القَرِيبُ وَالبَعِيدُ عِنْدَكَ فِي ذلِكَ سَواءٌ، شَأْنُكَ الحَقُّ وَالصِّدْقُ وَالرِّفْقُ وَقَوْلُكَ حُكْمٌ وَحَتْمٌ وَأَمْرُكَ حِلْمٌ وَعَزْمٌ وَرأْيُكَ عِلْمٌ وَحَزْمٌ . إعْتَدَلَ بِكَ الدِّينُ وَسَهُلَ بِكَ العَسِيرُ وَأُطْفِئَتْ بِكَ النِّيرانُ وَقَوِيَ بِكَ الإيمانُ وَثَبَتَ بِكَ الإسْلامُ، وَهَدَّتْ مُصِيبَتُكَ الأنامُ، فَإِنَّا للهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ.

I bear witness that surely you established the prayer and gave the poor-rate and enjoined the good and forbade the evil and you obeyed the Apostle and you recited the Book as it ought to be recited and you conveyed (the message) from Allah's side and observed the covenant of Allah and through you, the words of Allah were completed, and you fought in the way of Allah as it ought to be and you advised for the sake of Allah and His Apostle, Blessings of Allah be on him and his progeny and you offered sacrificed of your own self while you were patient and considerate, fighting in the defence of the religion of Allah, protecting, the Apostle of Allah, seeking what is near Allah, inclined towards what Allah has promised and you passed away in the religion you practised as a matryr and a witness and a witnessed one. Then may Allah grant you from the side of His Apostle and Islam and its adherents and the truthful ones, the best of recompense. I bear witness that among the people you were the formost in Islam and the most sincere in faith and most convinced in certitude and the most fearful of Allah and the most endurant of calamities and the most protective of the Apostle of Allah, Blessings of Allah be on him and his progeny and the greatest in virtues and the most excessive in nobility and the highest in grade and most honoured in position and the most esteemed. You remained brave when everyone else became coward and you remained adhered to the course laid down by the Apostle of Allah, Blessings of Allah be on him and his progeny and I bear witness that you were truly his caliph and there is absolutely no dispute in it despite the reluctance of the hypocrites and the wrath of the disbelievers and the grudge of the transgressors and you established the affair when people were slack and you spoke when they became dumb and you continued to walk along with the light of Allah when they had halted, the one who follows you has surely attained guidance. You were the foremost in speech, the most severe in encounters (with the enemy), the most correct in conversation and the most convinced in opinion and the bravest of hearts and the greatest in certitude and the best in action and the most cognizant of the affairs. You are a compassionate father of the believers. They were included in your family, then you shouldered their responsibilities which they could not cope up with, and you protected for them what they had wasted, and you guarded over what they had left behind, you were firm when they expressed fear and you showed determination when they were apprehensive, and you were patient when they were crying out for help. You were a severe retribution and a painful punishment for the unbelievers while for the believers you were a rain-shower, greenery and knowledge, your proof was not subdued and neither was your heart straitened and nor was your vision weakened nor was you afraid. You were like a mountain which even strong winds could not ruffle nor could thunder storm move it. You were as the Apostle of Allah said, Blessings of Allah be on him and his progeny. 'Strong of body, humble of soul, esteemed near Allah, elevated in the earth and esteemed in the heavens. None could slander you nor could anyone hint (regarding any defect) at you, nor could any hopeful from the creation aspire for your position nor has anyone obliged you. You considered a weak and lowly person as powerful and honoured one till the time you take his right due to him and you considered a powerful and honoured one as a weak and lowly person till you snatch away the (usurped) right from him. The close and the distant were both equal in your eyes you are rightful, truthful and friendly in character. You saying is truth and prevalent. Your opinion is knowledge and resolutions. The religion became firm due to you and the difficult things became easy because of you and through you the fire has been extinguished and faith has been strengthened on account of you, and Islam is established due to you. Your calamity has wrecked humanity. Then to Allah we belong and unto Him shall we return. May Allah curse those who killed you and may Allah curse those who oppossed you and may Allah curse those who maligned you and may Allah curse those who oppressed you and usurped your right and may Allah curse those whom all these have been conveyed and yet they are agreeable to it. Surely we disassociate ourselves from them in front of Allah. May Allah curse the people who opposed you and denied your mastership and rose against you and fought with you and prevented people from associating with you and forsook you. All Praise be to Allah, the One who made Hell-fire as their abode and it is indeed a very evil place to enter. I bear witness for you, O the friend of Allah and the friend of His Apostle Blessings of Allah be on him and his progeny concerning conveyance (of religion) and observance (of first) I bear witness that you are a loved one of Allah and His door and that you are a side of Allah and His Face though which He is approached and that You are the path of Allah and that you are the servant of Allah and the brother of His Apostle, Blessings of Allah be on him and his progeny. I have come to you as a visitor due to your great status and position near Allah and His Apostle I seek proximity towards Allah though your visitation. I am desirous of your intercession. I seek my deliverance of through your intercession. I seek protection from Hell fire through you. I run away to you, fearful from my sins which I have burdened on my back. I come to you expectant of the Mercy of my Lord. I seek your intercession, O my master, before Allah and I seek proximity to Him through you so that He may grant me my needs because of you. Then intercede for me. O the leader of the faithful, before Allah, for surely I am a servant of Allah and your slave and your visitor and you have a famed position and a high status and a great position and an accepted intercession near Allah. O Allah, bless Mohammad and the progeny of Mohammad and bless Your servant and Your most loyal trustee and Your strongest rope and Your lofty hand and Your most beautiful words and Your proof over the mankind and your greatest testifier, the leader of the vicegerents and the pillar of the representatives and the support of the chosen ones. The leader of the faithful and the chief of the pious and the guide of the truthful and the leader of the righteous, the infallible protected from mistakes and abstained one from flaws and one free from defects and purified from doubts, the brother of Your Prophet and the vicegerent of Your Apostle, The one who slept on his bed, and defended him by his own soul and removed his difficulties, the one whom You have made as a word of his Prophet and a miracle for His Apostleship and a clear proof for his argument and the upholder of his flag and the defender of his life and a guide for his nation and a support for his fortitude and a crown upon his head and a door for his aid and a key for his victory to the extent that he vanquished the army of polytheism by Your support and destroyed the solders of disbelief by Your command and sacrificed his life for Your satisfaction and that of Your Apostle and made it an endourment upon obedience and a pivot for calamities to the extent that The Apostle, Blessings of Allah on him and his progeny, passed away in his hands and he annointed his face with the coldness of the Apostle's body and the angels assisted him in bathing the holy body of the Apostle and his burial, then he prayed over him and laid his body in the grave and discharged his debts and fullfiled his promise and adhered to his covenant and followed in his footstep and guarded his will and when he found helpless he rose up, independently, to carry on with the burden of caliphate and the leadership of the Nation. Then he set up flag of guidance among Your servants and spread the cloak of security in Your cities and he spread Justice among Your creatures and he Judged according to Your book among Your creation and he established the penal code and bridled disbelief and he resisted spite and he silenced mischief and eradicated feebleness and he put a end to breach and he fought against those who were disloyal, transgressors and the appositive and he always toed the path of the Apostle of Allah, Blessings of Allah be on him and his progeny and his manness and his grace and his beautiful conduct. He followed his traditions and remained attach to his determination and remained on his path and considered the character of the Apostle as a model before his eyes and admonished people towards it and called them to it till the your beard was dyed with the blood of your head O Allah, just as he did not give reference to skepticism over certainty in matter of Your obedience and did not associate any one with You even for the twinkling of an eye, bless him with a pure and ever-growing salutation so that, through it, he may attain the rank of prophethood in Your Paradise and convey to him, from us, greetings and salutation and grant us from Your side, concerning his mastership, grace and goodness and forgiveness and satisfaction. Surely You are the passion of abundant grace, Your mercy, O the most merciful of all those who show mercy.
Dua after Ziyarat
O Allah! Surely You have conveyed to me the glad tidings on the tongue of Your Prophet and Your Apostle Mohammed Your Blessings be upon him and his progeny then You have said : Then give glad tidings to those who believe that for them is a footing of truth near their Lord. O Allah! And I believe in all Your Prophets and Your Apostles then do not make me stop, after my recognition of them, through a place where you disgrace me in front of the witnesses. Rather you make me halt with them and grant me death while I still testify to them. O Allah! And You have distinguished them by Your honour and have ordered me for their following, O Allah! And surely I am Your servant and Your visitor, I seek Your proximity through the visitation of the brother of Your Apostle and through every person who is approached and visited. There is a right for every one who comes and visits and You are the best of those who are attended to and the most honourable of those who are visited. Then I beseech You, O Allah! O Beneficent, O Merciful, O Generous, O Glorious, O Unique, O Needless, O the One Who does not beget nor is begotten and there is none like Him and He does not have a spouse nor a son that You bless Mohammad and the progeny of Mohammad and grant me as a gift for the visitation of the brother of Your Apostle my deliverance from Hell fire and include us among them who hasten toward good deeds and call You in yearning and fear and make me among those who are humble in front of You. O Allah, surely You have obliged me by giving me the opportunity of visiting my master, Ali, son of Abu Talib and his mastership and recognition. Then include me from those who aid him and seek help from him and oblige me by (lending me) Your help in The matters of Your religion. O Allah make me from his adherents and make me die on his religion. O Allah! Make obligatory from me mercy and satisfaction and forgiveness and goodness and pure, lawful and abundant sustenance which befits You, O the most merciful of all those who show mercy.
