O Allah, (please) send blessings upon `Ali the son of Musa

ٱلَّذِي ٱرْتَضَيْتَهُ وَرَضَّيْتَ بِهِ مَنْ شِئْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ

alladhi irtadaytahu wa raddayta bihi man shi'ta min khalqika

اَللَّهُمَّ وَكَمَا جَعَلْتَهُ حُجَّةً عَلَىٰ خَلْقِكَ

allahumma wa kama ja`altahu hujjatan `ala khalqika

O Allah, as You have made him act as argument against Your creatures,

وَقَائِماً بِأَمْرِكَ

wa qa'iman bi'amrika

undertake the mission by Your command,

وَنَاصِراً لِدِينِكَ

witness against Your servants,

وَكَمَا نَصَحَ لَهُمْ فِي ٱلسِّرِ وَٱلْعَلاَنِيَةِ

and as he acted sincerely towards them in secret and in open

وَدَعَا إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِكَ

wa da`a ila sabilika

and called to Your way

بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْمَوْعِظَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ

bilhikmati walmaw`izati alhasanati

with wisdom and excellent exhortation,

فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ

fasalli `alayhi

so also (please) bless him

أَفْضَلَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ أَحَدٍ

afdala ma sallayta `ala ahadin

with the most favorite blessings that You have ever bestowed

مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَخِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ

min awliya'ika wa khiyaratika min khalqika

upon any of Your intimate servants and Your choice ones over Your creatures.

إِنَّكَ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ

innaka jawadun karimun

Verily, You are All-magnanimous, All-generous.
