Muhammad, O father of al-Zahra', we hope for a glance, that I may see the Green Dome by night and by day.

Muhammad, O father of al-Qasim, I am distraught; perhaps you will accept me as a servant, I and all who are present.

And stand by the tomb, O eloquent one, and wash the wounded heart of its troubles.
