All happiness to him who feels for all,
And for all .. tries to do his best
For work like this the reward is not small
As with health, strength and power he'll be blest.
He rests securely on God's support
And serves him with purity of Truth and mind
Humbly following God's supreme command.
His pious , stainless life full deserves
Such rewards as God for selfless men reserves.
Thrice fortunate is he, who thus succeeds
In winning mighty Mazda's lasting grace
God freely grants him all his worldly needs
And in the heart of men ... an honoured place.
From him he never turns his glorious face
Long life he gives him for his virtue's sake,
Secure from harm he runs his earthly race
No doubt will ever his resolution shake,
The right path he'll always firmly take.
In pointing the way he does his greatest good
Both for material and spiritual bliss
That is the best and simplest way to pray
For no better worship can there be, than this.
For human good no chance of service miss
Let all bear in mind this golden maxim.
At once dismiss all thoughts of selfish gain
Be just and kind throughout your life,
That is the highest wisdom you will find.
O God, Thou art the Lord Supreme of all
Joy and happiness all begin from Thee
For at every step we call on Thee for help
And Thy hand bestows blessings on all freely,
For with Thee there is no high or low degree.
A sign of purity, Thy glorious Fire
Warns us to flee from evil things
Let it always exert its influence benign
And make our hearts with virtue shine.
O God, most supreme, benevolent and benign,
All blessings flow unrestrictedly from Thee
You are the fountain-head and source divine
From which we all receive the prosperity of our community.
To each as per his deeds, whether high or low
The good are always happy, prosperous and free
For the evil their woes daily grow.
They must flee from falsehood and to Truth
For all must perforce submit to Thy will.
O Lord in our distress send us Thy angels,
Let noble minded Spentamino guide us...
And to Truth and happiness lead us.
Let glorious Behman stand by our side
And Shehrevar all lawful means provide
To carry on our mission and to teach all
To worship Thee and in Thee confide
To be pure in action, thought and speech,
Whereby the highest heaven they may reach.
O God, when Sraosh, Thy messenger arrived,
And asked me who I was, what faith I held
Much comfort from his converse I derived
His presence dispelled all doubts from my mind
And my heart rebelled against all wicked rites
I saw Thou as the source of every good
All evils will be expelled by Thee at last
I'll spread this simple fact, make it well understood
To help drive out all superstitions and evil too.
An open fight I wish to wage with evil
And firmly defend the good and truthful
I'll engage myself in Thy service pure
To sing Thy praises to my final end
I'll never lend my ears to wicked words,
And for Thee bear all labour and hardship.
Before no force I'll bend in guiding men
All storms I'll dare for my fate is secure
in Thy tender care.
When Sraosh Thy messenger cam to me
And asked me what I held in great respect
I knew he came from Thee to train my mind
No less can I expect from Thy great love.
I often reflect on Thee and Thy reflections
And to Thy immortal fire pay my devotion
Which cleanses me of every fault and defect
I cannot go astray for it points to Truth
It is Thy quenchless ray - Thy essence pure.
My chief desire is that you grant me Truth
For I fully believe in holy righteousness
I aspire to first learn and then teach your laws
To act upon the orders I have received
From your own mouth.
Your words relieve my mind of doubts
To calm it and set it free.
I well conceive Thy glory and greatness
The monarch holds his throne by Thy decree
The peasant's peaceful life, too, is due to Thee.
O God, when Sraosh brought your message to me
And opened my mind with Thy holy words,
My heart in awe was drawn to Thee
I feel now how easy I shall find
In showing all ... the way to a good life
I shall try my best to spread your words
To live a goodly life of Truth and love
Which I know offers all a lasting blissful state
Of happy union, free from strife and hate.
As I see good Sraosha always by my side
It comforts me to see Thee
Watch over me with constant care
For which my humble thanks I offer Thee
Declare your wishes high to me through him
For Thee all labour I shall bravely bear.
As through him I have learnt to keep my mind content.
I accept all that comes my way
Determined as I am to fight with evil
The good will always triumph and the bad repent.
Almighty Father - boundless are Thy gifts
Thy kindness and Thy mercy none can weigh
Thy hand supports the strong and uplifts the weak
So to Thee on bended knee I humbly pray
To guide me on my destined way
May Truth reside in every human breast
May every human tongue pay Thee worship
In you may every human soul confide
That all human hearts in lasting peace abide.
