Translation
This Ziarat is recited for Imam Hussain(as)(ajtfs) on the day of Ashura & everyday. Highly Recommended for solutions to all major problems, if recited continuously for 40 day
SIGNIFICANCE
Salih Bin Aqabah and Sayf ibn Umayrah have reported `Alqamah ibn Muhammad al-Hadrami as saying that he, once, asked Imam al-Baqir, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, to teach him a prayer with which he would pray Almighty Allah on that day (of Ashura) when he would visit Imam al-Husayn’s tomb and to teach him another prayer with which he would pray Almighty Allah on that day when he would be unable to visit the tomb and then he would point to the tomb and send greetings to Imam al-Husayn (peace be upon him) from his own house.
The Imam said, “Listen, Alqamah! After you point to Imam al-Husayn (peace be upon him) with greetings and offer the two-unit prayer, you may say the Takbir statement (i.e. allahu-akbar) and then say… (the forthcoming form of Ziyarah). If you do so, you will have said the prayer that is said by the angels who visit Imam al-Husayn (peace be upon him). You will be also raised one hundred million ranks to join the rank of those who were martyred with him (i.e. Imam al-Husayn) and you will be included with their group. You will, moreover, be awarded the reward of the visiting of all Prophets and Messengers as well as the reward of all the visitors of Imam al-Husayn (peace be upon him) since the day of his martyrdom.”

وَاعْطَيْتَهُ مَوَاريثَ ٱلانْبِيَاءِ
gave him the inheritances of the prophets,
وَجَعَلْتَهُ حُجَّةً عَلَىٰ خَلْقِكَ مِنَ ٱلاوْصِيَاءِ
and made him argument against Your creatures and one of the Successors.
فَاعْذَرَ فِي ٱلدُّعَاءِ
So, he called to You flawlessly,
وَمَنَحَ ٱلنَّصِيحَةَ
gave advice,
وَبَذَلَ مُهْجَتَهُ فِيكَ
and sacrificed himself for Your sake
حَتَّىٰ ٱسْتَنْقَذَ عِبَادَكَ مِنَ ٱلْجَهَالَةِ وَحَيْرَةِ ٱلضَّلاَلَةِ
until he could save Your servants from ignorance and perplexity of straying off.
وَقَدْ تَوَازَرَ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ غَرَّتْهُ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Yet, those whom were seduced by this worldly life,
وَبَاعَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ ٱلآخِرَةِ بِٱلادْنَىٰ
those who sold their share of the Hereafter with the lowly price,
وَتَرَدَّىٰ فِي هَوَاهُ
those who perished because of following their desires,
وَاسْخَطَكَ وَاسْخَطَ نَبِيَّكَ
those who brought to themselves Your wrath and the wrath of Your Prophet,
وَاطَاعَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ اوْلِي ٱلشِّقَاقِ وَٱلنِّفَاقِ
and those who obeyed the dissident and hypocritical servants of You
وَحَمَلَةَ ٱلاوْزَارِ ٱلْمُسْتَوْجِبِينَ ٱلنَّارَ
and the bearers of the burdens (of sins) who deserve Hellfire—all those supported each other against him;
فَجَاهَدَهُمْ فِيكَ صَابِراً مُحْتَسِباً
so, he fought against them with steadfastness and expectation of Your reward,
مُقْبِلاًَ غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ
facing them courageously, never turning back,
لاََ تَاخُذُهُ فِي ٱللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لاَئِمٍ
and never fearing the blame of anyone concerning carrying out his duty towards You
حَتَّىٰ سُفِكَ فِي طَاعَتِكَ دَمُهُ
until his blood was shed while he was in obedience to You
وَٱسْتُبيحَ حَرِيـمُهُ
and his inviolability was also infringed.
اَللَّهُمَّ ٱلْعَنْهُمْ لَعْناً وَبِيلاًَ
O Allah, curse them with incessant curses
وَعَذِّبْهُمْ عَذَاباً الِيماً
and chastise them with painful chastisement.

make him fail to remember me in the same was as he has failed to remember You,

مَا شَاءَ رَبِّي كَانَ
Only that which my Lord wills shall come to pass,
وَمَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
and whatever He does not will shall never be.
وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.
أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمَا ٱللَّهَ

غَيْرَ آيِسٍ وَلاَ قَانِطٍ
I neither despair nor lose hope,
آئِباً عَائِداً رَاجِعاً إِلَىٰ زِيَارَتِكُمَا
and I intend to come back, return, revisit you both,
غَيْرَ رَاغِبٍ عَنْكُمَا وَلاَ عَنْ زِيَارَتِكُمَا
while I have never desired to leave you or to abandon visiting you;
بَلْ رَاجِعٌ عَائِدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ
rather, I shall return and come back, if Allah wills.
وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.
يَا سَادَتِي رَغِبْتُ إِلَيْكُمَا وَإِلَىٰ زِيَارَتِكُمَا
O my masters, I do desire for both of you and for visiting you
بَعْدَ أَنْ زَهِدَ فِيكُمَا وَفِي زِيَارَتِكُمَا أَهْلُ ٱلدُّنْيَا
although the people of this world (may) abandon you both or abandon visiting you.
فَلاَ خَيَّبَنِيَ ٱللَّهُ مِمَّا رَجَوْتُ وَمَا أَمَّلْتُ فِي زِيَارَتِكُمَا
May Allah never make me fail to attain what I have hoped and desired in visiting you both.
إِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ
Verily, He is All-nigh, All-responding.
