Supplications After the Ziyarat of imams

اَللّٰهُمَّ اَنْ كَانَتْ ذُنُوْبِيْ قَدْ اَخْلَقَتْ وَجْهِيْ عِنْدَكَ وَ حَجَبَتْ دُعَآئِيْ عَنْكَ وَ حَالَتْ بَيْنِيْ وَ بَيْنَكَ فَاَسْاَلُكَ اَنْ تُقْبِلَ عَلَيَّ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيْمِ وَ تَنْشُرَ عَلَيَّ رَحْمَتَكَ وَ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيَّ بَرَكَاتِكَ. وَ اِنْ كَانَتْ قَدْ مَنَعَتْ اَنْ تَرْفَعَ لِيْ اِلَيْكَ صَوْتًا اَوْ تَغْفِرَ لِيْ ذَنْبًا اَوْ تَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْ خَطِيْئَةٍ مُهْلِكَةٍ فَهَا اَنَا ذَا مُسْتَجِيْرٌ بِكَرَمِ وَجْهِكَ وَ عِزِّ جَلَالِكَ مُتَوَسِّلٌ اِلَيْكَ مُتَقَرِّبٌ اِلَيْكَ بِاَحَبِّ خَلْقِكَ اِلَيْكَ وَ اَكْرَمِهِمْ عَلَيْكَ وَ اَوْلَاهُمْ بِكَ وَ اَطْوَعِهِمْ لَكَ وَ اَعْظَمِهِمْ مَنْزِلَةً وَ مَكَانًا عِنْدَكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ الْاَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَاةِ الْمَهْدِيِّيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ فَرَضْتَ عَلٰى خَلْقِكَ طَاعَتَهُمْ وَ اَمَرْتَ بِمَوَدَّتِهِمْ وَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ وُلَاةَ الْاَمْرِ مِنْ بَعْدِ رَسُوْلِكَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ يَا مُذِلَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيْدٍ وَ يَا مُعِزَّ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ بَلَغَ مَجْهُوْدِيْ فَهَبْ لِيْ نَفْسِيَ السَّاعَةَ وَ رَحْمَةً مِنْكَ تَمُنُّ بِهَا عَلَيَّ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ.

O Allah! If my sins have caused my face to be tattered in Your view, my prayers to be screened from You, and put a barrier between You and me, then I beseech You to come to me with Your noble Face, to spread Your mercy upon me, and to pour down Your benedictions on me. And if my sins have impeded from raising my voice to You, impeded from forgiving any of my sins, or overlooking any of my destructive fault, then, here I am seeking shelter with the nobleness of Your Face and the dignity of Your majesty; and (here I am) begging You and seeking nearness to You through the most beloved of Your creatures to You, the most honorable with You, the nearest to You, the most obedient to You, and the owners of the greatest standing and position with You; namely, Muhammad and his immaculate descendants, the Imams, the guide and well-guided, the obedience to whom has been imposed by You on Your creatures, the love for whom has been ordered by You, and whom You have made the men in authority after Your Messenger, Allah's blessings be upon him and his Household. O He Who humiliates every obstinate tyrant! O He Who grants dignity to the faithful believers! I have exerted all my efforts; so, (please) release me at this very moment and grant me mercy from You that You may endow me, O Most Merciful of all.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّ هٰذَا مَشْهَدٌ لَا يَرْجُوْ مَنْ فَاتَتْهُ فِيْهِ رَحْمَتُكَ اَنْ يَنَالَهَا فِيْ غَيْرِهٖ وَ لَا اَحَدٌ اَشْقٰى مِنِ امْرِئٍ قَصَدَهٗ مُؤَمِّلًا فَاٰبَ عَنْهُ خَآئِبًا. اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْاِيَابِ وَخَيْبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَ الْمُنَاقَشَةِ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ وَ حَاشَاكَ يَا رَبِّ اَنْ تُقْرِنَ طَاعَةَ وَلِيِّكَ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ مُوَالَاتِهٖ بِـمُوَالَاتِكَ وَ مَعْصِيَتِهٖ بِمَعْصِيَتِكَ ثُمَّ تُؤْيِسَ زَآئِرَهٗ وَ الْمُتَحَمِّلَ مِنْ بُعْدِ الْبِلَادِ اِلٰى قَبْرِهٖ وَ عِزَّتِكَ يَا رَبِّ لَا يَنْعَقِدُ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ ضَمِيْرِي اِذْ كَانَتِ الْقُلُوْبُ اِلَيْكَ بِالْجَمِيْلِ تُشِيْرُ.

O Allah! This is verily a place wherein one who misses Your mercy must never expect to find it elsewhere. None can be more miserable that one who visits this place, bearing hope, but leaves it with disappointment. O Allah! I do seek Your protection against evil return, hopeless retirement, and hard interrogation when I am called to account. It is too far from You, O my Lord! That after You matched the obedience to Your (visited) representative to the obedience to You, the loyalty to him to the loyalty to You, and the disobedience to him to the disobedience to You, You may then shock with despair one who has visited him and who has undergone remoteness from homeland to come to his grave! By Your Honor, O my Lord! I swear; my conscience can never even think of so, because all hearts always have excellent ideas about You.

السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يا أهْلَ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَمَعْدِنَ الرِّسالَةِ سَلامَ مُوَدِّعٍ لا سَئِمٍ وَلا قالٍ وَرَحْمَةُ الله وَبَرَكاتُهُ

Peace be upon you, O Household of Prophethood and the Source of the Divine Message — the salutation of one who bids farewell, neither weary nor displeased — and the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you.

يَا وَلِيَّ اللهِ اِنَّ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ذُنُوْبًا لَا يَاتِيْ عَلَيْهَا اِلَّا رِضَاكَ فَبِحَقِّ مَنِ ائْتَمَنَكَ عَلٰى سِرِّهٖ وَ اسْتَرْعَاكَ اَمْرَ خَلْقِهٖ وَ قَرَنَ طَاعَتَكَ بِطَاعَتِهٖ وَ مُوَالَاتَكَ بِـمُوَالَاتِهٖ تَوَلَّ صَلَاحَ حَالِيْ مَعَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَ اجْعَلْ حَظِّيْ مِنْ زِيَارَتِكَ تَخْلِيْطِيْ بِخَالِصِيْ زُوَّارِكَ الَّذِيْنَ تَسْاَلُ اللهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيْ عِتْقِ رِقَابِهِمْ وَ تَرْغَبُ اِلَيْهِ فِيْ حُسْنِ ثَوَابِهِمْ. فَهَا اَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِقَبْرِكَ لَآئِذٌ وَ بِحُسْنِ دِفَاعِكَ عَنِّيْ عَآئِذٌ فَتَلَافِنِيْ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ اَدْرِكْنِيْ وَ اَسْاَلِ اللهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيْ اَمْرِيْ فَاِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَ اللهِ مَقَامًا كَرِيْـمًا (وَ جَاهًا عَظِيْمًا) صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيْـمًا.

O representative of Allah! There are sins that I have committed against Allah and nothing can mend them except winning your pleasure. So, I ask you in the name of Him Who has entrusted you with His secret, Who has commended you the affairs of His creation, and Who has matched the obedience to you to the obedience to Him and the loyalty to you to the loyalty to Him, to be in charge of setting aright my relationship with Allah the Almighty and All-majestic, to decide my share of my visit to you to be that you link me to the elite visitors of whom you ask Allah the Almighty and All-majestic to set free (from punishment) and whom you beg Him to grant excellent rewards. Here I am now seeking refuge in your tomb and seeking the protection of your excellent defense of me. So, O my master! Succor me, help me, and ask Allah the Almighty and All-majestic about my condition. Verily, you enjoy an honorable standing with Allah (and a great esteem). May Allah bless you and endue you with thorough benediction.
