127
يَوْمَ فَقْرِيْ وَفَاقَتِيْ

128
فَلَكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَقَامٌ مَحْمُوْدٌ

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِحُبِّهِمْ وَبِوِلَايَتِهِمْ
allāhumma innī ataqarrabu ilayka biḥubbihim wabiwilāyatihim
O Allah, I do seek nearness to You through bearing love for them and being loyal to them;

أَتَوَلَّى آخِرَهُمْ بِمَا تَوَلَّيْتُ بِهِ أَوَّلَهُمْ
atawallā-ākhirahum bimā tawallaytu bihi awwalahum
I am loyal to the last of them in the same way as I am loyal to the first
132
وَأَبْرَأُ مِنْ كُلِّ وَلِيْجَةٍ دُوْنَهُمْ
wa-abra-u min kulli walījatin dūnahum
and I repudiate any adherence to any one other than them.
133
اَللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الَّذِيْنَ بَدَّلُوْا نِعْمَتَكَ
allāhummal `anil ladhīna baddalū ni`matak

137
وَحَمَلُوْا النَّاسَ عَلَى أَكْتَافِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
waḥamalun nāsa `alā aktāfi-āli muḥammad
and placed the burden of the people upon the shoulders of Muhammad’s Household.
138
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِالْلَّعْنَةِ عَلَيْهِمْ
allāhumma innī ataqarrabu ilayka bil-la`nati `alayhim
O Allah, I do seek nearness to You through invoking curse on these peoples [i.e. the enemies of the Holy Prophet’s Household]
139
وَالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُمْ فِيْ الدُّنْيَا وَالْأٓخِرَةِ يَا رَحْمٰنُ
walbarā-ati minhum fid dunyā wal-ākhirati yā raḥmān
and disavowing them in this world and the Hereafter, O All-beneficent Lord.
You may turn to the side of the Imam’s feet and say the following words:
140
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ
ṣallallāhu `alayka yā abal ḥasan

May Allah kill those who killed you with hands and tongues.
