مَنَّ بِكُمْ عَلَيْنَا دَيَّانُ الدِّيْنِ
conferred upon us with the grace of our acknowledgment of
فَجَعَلَكُمْ فِيْ بُيُوْتٍ

آَذِنَ اللهُ اَنْ تُرْفَعَ
Allah) has permitted to be exalted and that His Name may be
وَ يُذْكَرَ فِيْهَا اسْمُهُ
mentioned therein, and He has decided our invocations of
وَ جَعَلَ صَلْوتَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ
blessings upon you to be mercy on us and to be granting
رَخمَةً لَنَا وَ كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوْبِنَا

مُعْتَرِفِيْنَ بِتَصدِيْقِنَا اِيَّاكُمْ
Him due to our acknowledgement of you and our giving
وَ هَذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ اَسْرَفَ وَ آَخْطَاَ
credence to you. So, this is the situation of him who has committed mistakes and sins, shown submission (to you),
وَ اسْتَكَانَ وَ اَقَرَّ بِمَا جَنَى
and confessed of what he had committed. Hence, being in
وَ رَجَا بِمَقَامِهِ الْخَلَاصَ
this situation, I hope for redemption and I hope that the
وَ اَنْ يَسْتَنْقِذَهُ بِكُمْ مُسْتَنْقِذُ الْهَلْكَى مِنَ الرَّدْى
Savior of the perishing ones from perdition may save me in

يَا مَنْ هُوَ قَائِمٌ لَا يَسْهُوْ
O He Who is Self-Subsisting and never forgets, Who is Ever-
وَ دَائِمٌ لَا يَلْهُوْ
وَ مُحِيْط بِكُلَّ شَيْءٍ
living and never becomes heedless, and Who encompasses
لَكَ الْمَنُّ بِمَا وَفَقْتَنِيْ
all things! To You is all gratitude for that You have guided me
وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي بِمَا اَقْمْتَنِيْ عَلَيْهِ
(to this) and You have introduced to me that on which I rest,
اِذْ صَدَّ عَنْهُ عِبَادُكَ
when Your servants diverted from it, ignored the recognition
وَ جَهِلُوْا مَعْرِفَتَهُ
of it, belittled its right, and inclined to elsewhere. Hence, You
وَ اسْتَخَفَّوْا بِحَقَّهِ
وَ مَالُوا إِلْى سِوَاهُ
فَكَانَتِ الْمِنَّةُ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ

مَعَ اَقْوَامِ خَصَصْتَهُمْ بِمَا خَصَصْتَنِي بِهِ
people whom You have granted exclusively the same. So, all

praise be to You, for l have been mentioned and written with
فِيْ مَقَامِيْ هَذَا مَذْكُوْرًا مَكْتُوْبًا
You due to the situation in which I am now. Hence, (please)
فَلَا تَخْرِمْنِيْ مَا رَجَوْتْ
do not deprive me of what l long for, and do not disappoint
وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْنِي فِيْمَا دَعَوْتُ
me as regards my supplication; (please do so) in the name of
بِحْزْمَةٍ مُحَمَدٍ وَ الِهِ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ
the sanctity of Muhammad and his immaculate Household.
وَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَلِ مُحَمَّدٍ.
May Allah send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad. You may now pray Almighty Allah for anything you want. In Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Shaykh al-Tusi says: You may then offer the Ziyarah Prayer (salat al-ziyarah) in eight units; each two units are for one of the (four) lmams.
