يَا مُمْتَحَنَةُ
ٱمْتَحَنَكِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكِ
قَبْلَ انْ يَخْلُقَكِ
O carefully examined (lady):
Allah Who created you had tried you
before He created you (for this worldly life),
فَوَجَدَكِ لِمَا ٱمْتَحَنَكِ صَابِرَةً
وَزَعَمْنَا انَّا لَكِ اوْلِيَاءٌ وَمُصَدِّقُونَ
وَصَابِرُونَ لِكُلِّ مَا اتَانَا بِهِ ابُوكِ
and thus He found you successfully enduring in that trial.
We claim being loyalists to you, believers in you,
and tolerant as regards all that which has been conveyed to us by your father,
صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ
وَاتَىٰ بِهِ وَصِيُّهُ
فَإِنَّا نَسْالُكِ إِنْ كُنَّا صَدَّقْنَاكِ
إِلاَّ الْحَقْتِنَا بِتَصْدِيقِنَا لَهُمَا
لِنُبَشِّرَ انْفُسَنَا بِانَّا قَدْ طَهُرْنَا بِوِلايَتِكِ
peace of Allah be upon him and his Household,
and all that which his Successor has brought to us.
We, thus, ask you, if we have really believed you,
that you may include us with those who believe in both of them (i.e. the Holy Prophet and Imam `Ali),
so that we may feel happy that we have been purified on account of our loyalty to you.
It is recommended to add the following:

صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ
وَعَلَىٰ رُوحِكِ وَبَدَنِكِ
May Allah bless you,
your soul, and your body.
اشْهَدُ انَّكِ مَضَيْتِ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكِ
وَانَّ مَنْ سَرَّكِ فَقَدْ سَرَّ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ
I bear witness that you have spent your life with full awareness of your duty towards your Lord
and (I bear witness) that he who pleases you will have pleased the Messenger of Allah,

and you are his soul with which he lives.
اشْهِدُ ٱللَّهَ وَرُسُلَهُ وَمَلاَئِكَتَهُ
انِّي رَاضٍ عَمَّنْ رَضِيتِ عَنْهُ

مُبْغِضٌ لِمَنْ ابْغَضْتِ
مُحِبٌّ لِمَنْ احْبَبْتِ
I am loyal to him whomever you support,
I am the enemy of him whomever you betake as enemy,

وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيداً وَحَسِيباً
وَجَازِياً وَمُثِيباً
Verily, Allah is Sufficient as Witness, Reckoner,
Punisher, and Rewarder.
