I bear witness that you carried and delivered that for which Allah has commissioned you,

protected that which was entrusted to you,

prescribed that which Allah has made lawful,

prescribed that which Allah has made unlawful, made clear the divine rules, studied and interpreted the Book of Allah,

exercised self-control in the midst sake of Allah, strived in the cause of Allah, leaving no stone unturned, till the inevitable came unto you.

I bear witness that you followed the path which your pure forefathers, pious ancestors and the rightly guided guides, the successors of the Holy Prophet, had followed never accommodated waywardness to jeopardize guidance, never turned aside truth to make room for falsehood.

I bear witness that, verily, you always gave sincere advice to the people in the matter of Allah,

His Messenger, and the Ameer - ul - Moomineen; verily, you conscientiously returned the deposits kept in you safe custody, kept away from abuse of confidence established prayers, gave the prescribed share to the needy, commanded to do that which is lawful, not to do that which is unlawful,

sincerely served Allah, gave just decisions and took proper action, till the inevitable came unto you.

Allah compensated you for (your) total submission to Him, with superior most and continuous rewards.

I have come to visit you, O the son of the Messenger of Allah, aware of your rights, conscious of your excellence, equipped with you knowledge, covered with your guarantee.

I have taken refuge near your grave, your “Zarih” is my sanctuary. You are my advocate before Allah, I am a friend of your friends,

I am averse to your enemies, well acquainted with your rank, and with the guidance you adhered to, mindful of the depravity of your opponents, and of the waywardness in which they are wandering.

I, my father, and my mother, my family, my possessions and my children are at your disposal,

O the son of the Messenger of Allah! I have come to you to seek nearness of Allah through my visit to you, and to nominate you as my advocate before Him,

therefore, speak to your Lord to forgive my sins, to pardon my transgressions, to overlook my wrongdoings to wipe off my mistakes, to let me enter the Paradise, to treat me with kindness which

He is able to do, to grant me amnesty, and to my fathers, to my brothers, to my sisters, to all the believing men and the believing women, wherever they are in the earth, (from east to west) in the name of His obligingness, in the name of His generosity, in the name of His kindness. Peace be on you,

O my Mawlaa, O Moosa bin Jaa’-far, and also mercy and blessings of Allah!

I bear witness that, verily, you are the guide who showed the right path, the guardian who adhered to the true path, verily, you are the depository of the revelation, and exposed its true meanings; your are the bearer of the Tawrayt and Injeel, you are an honest scholar, and a truthful performer.

O my Mawlaa! I turn to Allah by avoiding your enemies,

I seek nearness of Allah through my love for you, blessings of Allah be on you, on your forefathers, on your ancestors, on your children and your friends and followers
