(Homage to Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha) / With broad and long tongues free of falsehood, (Amitābha Buddha) / the Tathāgatas protect and keep in mind those with faithful minds. (Homage to Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha) / The world is impermanent and difficult to remain in long; (Amitābha Buddha) / one must simply make the vow early and seek [rebirth] diligently. (Homage to Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha) / Those already born and those yet to be born are all non-retrogressing; (Amitābha Buddha) / how could it be limited to those practicing now and those not yet practicing? (Homage to Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha) / All buddhas simultaneously praise Śākyamuni (Amitābha Buddha) / for being able in the five turbidities to rescue the Sahā [world], (Homage to Amitābha Buddha, homage to Amitābha Buddha) / teaching this Dharma that is hard to believe in this world, (Amitābha Buddha) / causing all to awaken and turn to Amitābha.
