wa thabbit li qadama sidqin `indaka

and make for me with You a firm step of honesty

مَعَ ٱلْحُسَيْنِ وَأَصْحَابِ ٱلْحُسَيْنِ

ma`a alhusayni wa ashabi alhusayni

with al-Husayn and the companions of al-Husayn

ٱلَّذينَ بَذَلُوٱ مُهَجَهُمْ دُونَ ٱلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلاَمُ

alladhina badhalu muhajahum duna alhusayni

who sacrificed their souls in defense of al-Husayn, peace be upon him.
