بَلْ بِرَجَآءِ حَيَاتِكَ حَيِيَثْ قُلُوْبُ شِيْعَتِكَ
And do not let us down, monks.
وَ بِضِيَاءِ نُوْرِكَ اهْتَدَى الطَّالِبُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ
And by the light of your light, those who seek you are guided.
وَ اَشْهَدُ آَنَّكَ نُوْرُ اللهِ الَّذِيْ لَمْ يُظفَأ وَ لَا يُطْفَأُ آَبَدًا
And I bear witness that you are the light of God that has never been extinguished and will never be extinguished.
وَ أَنَّكَ وَجْهُ اللهِ الَّذِيْ لَمْ يَهْلِكْ وَ لَا يُهْلَكُ اَبَدًا
And you are the face of God who has not perished and will never perish.
وَ اَشْهَدُ آَنَّ هَذِهِ التُّرْبَةَ تُرْبَثُكَ
