بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
اَللّٰهُمَّ عَظُمَ الْبَلَاءُ وَ بَرِحَ الْخَفَاءُ وَ انْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ وَ انْكَشَفَ
الْغِطَاءُ وَ ضَاقَتِ الْاَرْضُ وَ مَنَعَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَ اِلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ الْمُشْتَكٰى
وَ عَلَيْكَ الْمُعَوَّلُ فِي الشِّدَّةِ وَ الرَّخَاءِ اَللّٰهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلٰى
مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اُوْلِي الْاَمْرِ الَّذِيْنَ فَرَضْتَ عَلَيْنَا طَاعَتَهُمْ
فَعَرَّفْتَنَا بِذَلِكَ مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ فَفَرِّجْ عَنَّا بِحَقِّهِمْ فَرَجًا عَاجِلًا
كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ اَوْ هُوَ اَقْرَبُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا عَلِيُّ اكْفِيَانِيْ فَاِنَّكُمَا
كَافِيَايَ وَ انْصُرَانِي فَاِنَّكُمَا نَاصِرَايَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ
الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ اَدْرِكْنِيْ اَدْرِكْنِيْ اَدْرِكْنِيْ.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Allah,
the calamities have increased and that which was concealed has surfaced and the
curtains has been raised and the hopes are shattered and the earth has become
narrow and the skies has withheld (the bounties) and You are the only supporter
and I complain to You, and trust is put only in You at times of troubles and
ease. O Allah send blessings on Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and the Progeny of Muhammad
(s.a.w.a.) who are the masters of the orders and whose obedience You have made
us recognize, then expand for one by their right and expand it soon like that
of a winking of an eye nay more closer than it, O Muhammad O Ali, for answering
my purpose You two are sufficient and you two help me out as both of you are
helpers. O our master, O the master of the time I complain, I complain, I
complain, help me, help me, help me.
