and refreshing the traditions in the (light of the) Book.

فَعَاشَ فِي رِضْوَانِكَ مَكْدُوداً

So, he lived in fatigue for the sake of Your pleasure

وَمَضَىٰ عَلَىٰ طَاعَتِكَ وَفِي أوْلِيَائِكَ مَكْدُوحاً

Yet, they slew him clearly intentionally.

قَتَلُوهُ عَلَىٰ ٱلإِيـمَانِ

They slew him because of his faith;

وَأطَاعُوٱ فِي قَتْلِهِ ٱلشَّيْطَانَ

therefore, they obeyed Satan

and bless my master and chief whenever he is mentioned

وَكُلَّمَا لَمْ يُذْكَرْ

for you verily enjoy a special esteem and value with Allah

وَمَنْزِلَةً رَفيعَةً

as well as a lofty standing:

إِنْ سَألْتَ أعْطِيتَ

if you ask, He gives you

وَإِنْ شَفَعْتَ شُفِّعْتَ

and if you intercede, He admits your intercession.

اللَّهَ اللَّهَ فِي عَبْدِكَ وَمَوْلاَكَ

By Allah I ask you to regard me, your slave and servant.

لاََ تُخَلِّنِي عِنْدَ ٱلشَّدَائِدِ وَٱلأهْوَالِ

No means that has been made to Allah

بِوَسِيلَة هِيَ أعْظَمُ حَقّاً

is greater in status,

more incumbent in sanctity,

وَلاَ أجَّلُ قَدْراً

or loftier in eminence

عِنْدَهُ مِنْكُمْ أهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ

than yours, the Ahl al-Bayt, in the sight of Allah.

لاََ خَلَّفَنِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْكُمْ بِذُنُوبِي

May Allah never cause me to lag behind you because of my sins

وَجَمَعَنِي وَإِيَّاكُمْ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ

insulting me by harming me,

وَيُعِيبُنِي بِوَلاَءِ أوْلِيَائِكَ

imputing dishonor to me because I am loyal to Your Representatives,

وَإِنْ أقِمْ فَلاَ عَنْ سُوءِ ظَنٍّ بِمَا وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّابِرِينَ

and if I reside, this is not because of mistrusting the promise that Allah has made for the serene ones.
