O Allah: My first need from You is that I implore to You to forgive all my previous sins although they are numerous, And to protect me (against sinning) in my coming life, and to purify my religion from whatsoever stains or disgraces or degrades it, and to save it from suspect, doubt, corruption and blasphemy, and to make me stand firm on the obedience to You and to Your Messenger and to his Progeny, the pure and the happy-may Your blessings and mercy and peace and favors be upon them-and to make me live, as long as You grant me life, on the obedience to them, and to make me die, when You decide so, on the obedience to them, and not to erase from my heart my love and affection for them and my aversion to their enemies and my companionship to their adherents and my acting piously towards them.

And I implore to You, O Lord, to accept that from me, and to make me loathe acts of disobedience to You and acts that You have deemed forbidden and to take me away from these acts, And to save me against negligence, belittling and slackening in the performance of my prayers, and to lead me to perform them as perfect as You have made incumbent upon me and as You have commanded according to the Sunnah (traditions) of Your Messenger-may Your blessings, mercy and favors be upon him and his Family-with obedience and reverence, and to expand my breast for defraying the Zakat and almsgiving and doing favors and good turns for the adherents of the Family of Muhammad- peace be upon them-and for consoling them, and not to take me up (i.e. cause me to die) before You bestow upon me the favor of going on pilgrimage to Your Sacred House and to the tomb of Your Prophet and the tombs of the Imams-peace be upon them.

And I implore to You, O Lord, (to grant me) a sincere repentance that You accept, and an intention that You praise, and to have mercy upon me when You take me up, and to make easy for me the agonies of death, and to include me with the group of Muhammad and his Family-peace of Allah be upon him and them7-, and to allow me to enter Paradise out of Your mercy, and to make me shed heavy tears as obeisance to You, and to make my tears always run down in acts that draw me near You, And to make my heart sympathetic towards Your intimate servants.

O Allah: these are my needs from you; and, out of my meanness and avarice, I have considered these (needs) as great; while they are in Your view are insignificantly small and they are easy and effortless for You; I thus implore to You by the standing of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad-peace be upon him and them-with You and by their right with You; and by what You have made incumbent (upon You) as regards Your Prophets, and Your Messengers, and Your choice servants, and Your intimate saints who are sincere in worshipping You; and by Your Grand, Substantial Name-(I implore to You by all these) to settle all of my needs; and to relieve me through settling them for me and not to disappoint nor let me down.

O Allah, (please) accept the one in this Tomb as my interceder before You. O Master, O the Saint of Allah, O the Representative of Allah; I beseech you to intercede for me before Allah-to Whom belongs all might and majesty-to accept and settle all my needs; by the right of Your Immaculate fathers and by the right of Your choice sons; For you enjoy in the view of Allah-sacred be His Names-an honorable standing and a lofty rank and a spacious regard.

Allaahumma Law 'Araftu Man Huwa Awjahu 'Indaka Min Haadhal-Imaami Wamin Aabaasihee Wa-Abnaa'ihit'- T'aahireena 'Alayhimus-Salaamu Was'-S'alaatu, Laja'altahum Shufa'aa'ee Waqaddamtahum Amaama H'aajaatee Wat'alabaatee Hadhihee, Fasma' Minnee Wastajib Lee Wafal Bee Maa Anta Ahluhoo Yaa Arh'amar-Raah'imeena, Allaahumma Wamaa Qas'urat 'Anhu Mas'alatee Wa'ajazat 'Anhu Quwwatee Walam Tablughhu Fit'natee Min S'aalih'i Deenee Wadunyaaya Wa-Aakhiratee, Famnun Bihee 'Alayya Wah'fazinee Wah'rusnee Wahab Lee Waghfir Lee. O Allah: had I known a person more acceptable, for You, than this Imam and his fathers and sons, the Pure-peace and blessings be upon them-I would have chosen them to be my interceders (before You) and I would have introduced them (before You) in order that You would settle my needs and requests; I therefore please You to hear from me and to respond to me and to do to me that which suits You; You are the most Merciful of all those who show mercy. O Allah: as regards the needs that my requests have not included and the things that I am too powerless to do and the things that I am not too clever to mention among the things that prosper my religion and my worldly life and my next life; I please You to confer upon me with these; and to protect me; and to guard me; and to bestow upon me (with Your favors); and to forgive me.

And as for anyone who intends evil or wickedness to me-such as a rebellious devil, or a tyrant ruler; or a dissident miscreant, or a rival in this world; or one who envies me for a grace, or an unjust individual, or a despot-then (please) make their hands too short to catch me, and take away their plots against me; and make them be engaged with their own affairs (so as to be away from harming me), and save me from their evils and the evils of their followers and their devils; and stand by me against whatsoever harms me and whatsoever does injustice to me; and (please) grant me the entire goodness whether I know or I do not.

O Allah: bless Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad; and forgive me, and my parents, and my brothers, and sisters, and (paternal) uncles, and (paternal) aunts, and (maternal) uncles, and (maternal) aunts, and forefathers, and foremothers; and their sons and their offspring; and my spouse(s), and my offspring, and my relatives, and my friends; and my neighbors, and my brothers-in-faith in the east and in the west (of the earth); and all those whom I love among the believing men and believing women, be they alive or dead; and all those who have ever taught me an item of decency or those who have received from me an item of knowledge.

O Allah: make all these have a share in my best Supplications to You and in my (ritual) pilgrimages to the shrine of Your Claim (against the creatures) and Your Saint; and make me have a share in the best of their Supplications, by Your mercy, for You are the most Merciful of all those who show mercy; and send their greetings to Your Saint; peace and Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you.

O my master, O my leader; O (mention the name of the Imam whose shrine you are visiting); may Allah bless you, and your soul, and your body; you are my means to approach Allah and my way towards Him; and I enjoy the right of my loyalty to you and the right of my putting my entire hope in you; therefore, be my interceder before Allah-to Whom belongs all mighty and majesty-so that He shall regard my story (that I have just told) and so that He shall make success the result of all my requests in this pilgrimage out of His mercy and might. O Allah: bestow upon me a perfect intellectuality and a sagacious reason; and an everlasting might and a pure heart; and a very much work (for Your), and excellent manners; and achieve all these for me and do not make them stand against me; by Your mercy, for You are the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
