O Allah, pour curses upon Abu-Sufyan, Mu`awiyah,

 

وَ يَزِيْدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْكَ اللَّعْنَةُ اَبَدَ الْاٰبِدِيْنَ

wa yazida bna mu`awiyata `alayhim minka alla`natu abada al-abidina

and Yazid son of Mu`awiyah, May Your curse be upon them incessantly and everlastingly.

 

وَ هٰذَا يَوْمٌ فَرِحَتْ بِهٖ اٰلُ زِيَادٍ وَ اٰلُ مَرْوَانَ

wa hadha yawmun farihat bihi alu ziyadin wa alu marwana

This is the day on which the family of Ziyad and the family of Marwan gloated

 

بِقَتْلِهِمُ الْحُسَيْنَ

biqatlihim alhusayna

because they had killed al-Husayn,

 

صَلَوٰاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ

salawatu allahi `alayhi

Allah’s blessings be upon him.

 

اَللّٰهُمَّ فَضَاعِفْ عَلَيْهِمُ الَّعْنَ مِنْكَ وَ الْعَذَابَ الْاَلِيْمَ

allahumma fada`if `alayhim alla`na minka wal`adhaba (al-alima)

So, O Allah, pour frequent curses upon them and double for them the painful chastisement.

 

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيۤ اَتَقَرَّبُ اِلَيْكَ فِيْ هٰذَا الْيَوْمِ

allahumma inni ataqarrabu ilayka fi hadha alyawmi

O Allah, I do seek nearness to You on this day,

 

وَ فِيْ مَوْقِفِيْ هٰذَا وَ اَيَّامِ حَيٰوتِيْ

wa fi mawqifi hadha wa ayyami hayati

on this occasion, and on all the days of my lifetime,

 

بِالْبَرَاۤئَةِ مِنْهُمْ وَ اللَّعْنَةِ عَلَيْهِمْ

bilbara'ati minhum walla`nati `alayhim

by repudiating these and invoking Your curses upon them,

 

وَ بِاالْمُوَالَاتِ لِنَبِيِّكَ وَ اٰلِ نَبِيِّكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ

wa bilmuwalati linabiyyika wa ali nabiyyika `alayhi wa `alayhim as-salamu

and by declaring loyalty to Your Prophet and Your Prophet’s Household, peace be upon him and them.

 

اَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْ اَوَّلَ ظَالِمٍ ظَلَمَ حَقَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

allahumma il`an awwala zalimin zalama haqqa muhammadin wa ali muhammadin

O Allah, pour curses upon the foremost persecutor who usurped the right of Muhammad and Muhammad’s Household

You may then repeat the following words one hundred times (100) :

وَ اٰخِرَ تَابِعٍ لَهٗ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ

wa akhira tabi`in lahu `ala dhalika

and the last follower who acceded to his deed.

 

"اَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْعِصَابَةَ الَّتِيْ جَاهَدَتِ الْحُسَيْنَ"

allahumma il`an al`isabata allati jahadat alhusayna

O Allah, pour curses upon the gang that struggled against al-Husayn

 

وَ شَايَعَتْ وَ بَايَعَتْ وَ تَابَعَتْ عَلٰى قَتْلِهٖ

اَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمْ جَمِيْعًا

allahumma il`anhum jami`an

O Allah, pour curses upon all of them.

 

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَاۤ اَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ

as-salamu `alayka ya aba `abdillahi

Peace be upon you, O Abu-`Abdullah

You may then repeat the following salam one hundred times (100) :

وَ عَلَى الْاَرْوَاحِ الَّتِيْ حَلَّتْ بِفِنَاۤئِكَ

wa `ala al-arwahi allati hallat bifina'ika

and upon the souls that gathered in your courtyard.

 

عَلَيْكَ مِنِّيْ سَلَامُ اللهِ اَبَدًا

`alayka minni salamu allahi abadan

Peace of Allah be upon you from me forever

 

مَّا بَقِيْتُ وَ بَقِيَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ

wa `ala awladi alhusayni wa `ala ashabi alhusayni

upon the sons of al-Husayn, and upon the companions of al-Husayn.

 

اَللّٰهُمَّ خُصَّ اَنْتَ اَوَّلَ ظَالِمٍ بِاللَّعْنِ مِنِّيْ وَابْدَاْ بِهٖ اَوَّلًا

allahumma khussa anta awwala zalimin billa`ni minni wabda' bihi awwalan

O Allah, pour special curses on the foremost persecutor and begin with him first,

 

ثُمَّ الثَّانِيْ وَ الثَّالِثَ وَ الرَّابِعَ

thumma il`an alththaniya walththalitha walrrabi`a

and then pour curses on the second, the third, and the fourth.

 

اَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْ يَزِيْدَ خَامِسًا

allahumma il`an yazida khamisan

O Allah, curse Yazid fifthly,

allahumma laka alhamdu hamda alshshakirina laka `ala musabihim

O Allah, all praise be to You; the praise of those who thank You for their misfortunes.

alhamdu lillahi `ala `azimi raziyyati

All praise be to Allah for my great misfortune.
