yā mumtaḥanah
O carefully examined (lady):
اِمْتَحَنَكِ اللَّهُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَكِ
imtaḥanakillāhul ladhī khalaqak
Allah Who created you had tried you
قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَكِ
qabla an yakhluqak
before He created you (for this worldly life),
فَوَجَدَكِ لِمَا امْتَحَنَكِ صَابِرَةً
fawajadaki limamtaḥanaki ṣābirah
and thus He found you successfully enduring in that trial.

and tolerant as regards all that which has been conveyed to us by your father,
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
ṣallallāhu `alayhi wa ālih
peace of Allah be upon him and his Household,
وَأَتىٰ بِهِ وَصِيُّهُ
wa-atā bihi waṣiyyuh
and all that which his Successor has brought to us.
فَإِنَّا نَسْأَلُكِ إِنْ كُنَّا صَدَّقْنَاكِ
fa-innā nas-aluki in kunnā ṣaddaqnāk
We, thus, ask you, if we have really believed you,
إِلَّا أَلْحَقْتِنَا بِتَصْدِيقِنَا لَهُمَا
illā alḥaqtinā bitaṣdīqinā lahumā
that you may include us with those who believe in both of them (i.e. the Holy Prophet and Imam `Ali),
لِنُبَشِّرَ أَنْفُسَنَا بِأَنَّا قَدْ طَهُرْنَا بِوِلايَتِكِ
linubashhira anfusanā bi-annā qad ṭahur-nā biwilāyatik
