Peace be on the kind Imam who inspires sadness on the day of Aashooraa

اُقْسِمُ وَ بِآبَائِكَ الْاَطْهَارِ وَ بِاَبْنَآئِكَ الْمُنْتَجَبِيْنَ الْاَبْرَارِ لَوْ لَا بُعْدُ الشُّقَّةِ حَيْثُ شَطَّتْ بِكُمُ الدَّارُ لَقَضَيْتُ بَعْضَ وَاجِبِ حَقِّكُمْ بِتَكْرَارِ الْمَزَارِ

I swear by Allah and by your pure fathers and the chosen ones amongst your pious children, had it not been for the excessive distance from home, I would have fulfilled some obligations by continuously visiting you

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا حُمَاةَ الدِّيْنِ وَ اَوْلَادَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ وَ سَادَةَ الْمَخْلُوْقِيْنَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

assalaamo a’laykum yaa homaatad deene wa awlaadan nabiyyeena wa saadatal makhlooqeena wa rahmatul laahe wa barakaatoh

Peace be on you, O the protectors of religion, the children of the Prophets and the leaders of creation, may the mercy and blessings of Allah be on you

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَىٰ

allahumma salli `ala `aliyyi bni musa

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

ٱلرِّضَا ٱلْمُرْتَضَىٰ

alrrida almurtada

the cordial, the well-pleased,

ٱلإِمَامِ ٱلتَّقِيِّ ٱلنَّقِيِّ

al-imami alttaqiyyi alnnaqiyyi

the Imam, the pious, the bright,

وَحُجَّتِكَ عَلَىٰ مَنْ فَوْقَ ٱلأَرْضِ وَمَنْ تَحْتَ ٱلثَّرَىٰ

wa hujjatika `ala man fawqa al-ardi wa man tahta alththara

Your argument against whoever is above the earth and whoever is beneath the dust,

ٱلصِّدِّيقِ ٱلشَّهِيدِ

alssidiqi alshshahidi

and the ever-truthful and martyr

صَلاَةً كَثِيرَةً تَامَّةً زَاكِيَةً

salatan kathiratan tammatan zakiyatan

with such blessings that are very much, perfect, purified,

مُتَوَاصِلَةً مُتَوَاتِرَةً مُتَرَادِفَةً

mutawasilatan mutawatiratan mutaradifatan

continuous, uninterrupted, and consecutive,

كَأَفْضَلِ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ

ka'afdali ma sallayta `ala ahadin min awliya'ika

and with the best form of blessings that You have ever bestowed upon any of Your intimate servants.
