O God, my followers and my kinsmen
Have all deserted me .. where shall I go ?
With all my strength I mean to work for Thee
To me Thy favour show, Thy aid extend
I depend wholly on Thy mercy.
The ruling tyrants and the merchants rich
With ill-gained power presumptious grow
By Thy strong hand defeat their guilty plots
That they may understand Thy supreme might.
The present state of things upsets me quite,
Provide me the means so all pay heed to me,
O Lord to help me fight keep up my strength
Against the ranks who do not understand Thee,
Free the world from their cruel wrongs.
Thou are my sole support, console my mind,
I see no better friend than Thee.
To Thee alone when in need I will resort
You are my safest shelter and strongest fort.
Now that your glorious Soshiants have come to earth
And ushered in Resurrection day
Now smiling nature will receive new birth
Bedecked brightly to always start afresh.
And men always chant the Manthra's holy word,
And with universal joy the world will sing
Truth will come to stay, all lies are dead.
Each one, O Mazda, Thy praises sings
And each one clings to Thee and Thee alone.
Some evil men with power try to ruin all
They rob the good... their riches take away,
But God will surely bring about their fall,
And plunge them into woe and deep dismay
None can stop or stay their destined fall
The world will sigh with relief at their final end.
And joy and peace will thrive from day to day,
A reign of terror cannot but be brief
And cruel tactics will always come to grief.
All men of means .... the evil never help
To them no sympathy or kindness show
They grow bolder the more support they get.
Use all your means to overthrow their plans.
Let the pious and the truthful be in your care
Supply their needs and on them your gifts bestow.
They'll bear their burdens in fighting sin
And in their merit you will share.
He who has the strength and power to fight sin,
Against the devil, the wicked spoiler of the world,
Should take all steps to curb his evil might,
Or else from his position be removed,
He who defends a man plunged in sin
Himself displays the flag of sin unfurled.
Din this rule of God into your minds
And win heaven with this simple truth alone.
When evil men dare to try, their cruelty on us to wreak,
And declare their anger and their hate,
In such a crisis your help shall we seek,
O great Mazda ... Thy mercy we do seek,
Protect us and our holy Fire save,
We are alone and weak without Thy aid.
Thou art our only refuge in our troubles grave,
And with Thy support we can all dangers brave.
An evil man can do no harm to me,
His burning wrath will on himself recoil.
His just retribution he cannot flee
All his schemes .. Almighty God will foil.
He'll gain only grief for all his sins,
And forever repent his actions foul,
Both his present and his future .. spoil,
Fear you well this holy message
And to sin's seductive voice.. don't lend a ear.
A friendly angel rendered help to me
And taught me Thou was mighty Lord of all
Free religious knowledge from him I got...
How to my aid .. I may Thee call,
And in Thy worship myself involve.
He showed me how Truth alone can be my guide
For a lie destroys all life as worms do wood,
With this wise lesson I shall lead my life
To firmly stand on Truth and virtue's side.
All men and women blessed with faith sincere,
Who strictly follow Truth throughout your life,
Your consciences are always pure and clear,
Through you the world in peace and comfort thrives,
And every kind of happiness derives.
When you truly worship Mazda you defeat,
The wily Anghremainyush, who always plans,
To cheat mankind with wicked plots,
To stop their access to heaven above.
The plotters and deceivers in league conspire
To uin the world by their wicked deeds,
They desolate the earth with arms and fire
Of family wars they sow the seeds,
From them no earthly peace or joy proceeds.
Their sinful souls rebel against heavenly laws,
And their presence breeds discord wherever they go.
Their actions their early downfall spells
As their lasting home will be the pit of hell.
But many on earth have sons and daughters
Who for Truth are well renowned
They have on the side of virtue bravely fought,
They've helped to spread peace and content profound,
By their counsel sound and example fair,
Follow Mazda only as their guide.
Through strength acquired from Him their foes confound,
To Him alone they pray, in Him confide,
And thus as heroes bold they valiantly stride.
Any person whose heart is kindly turned to me,
Is fit to spread God's holy word,
He'll find an entrance free in heaven on high.
His house and wealth will be watched by God.
No one can harm him with deceit or fraud...
They stand for Truth, on virtue's side they fight.
In serving God's creations they delight
And worship Him with pure and simple rites.
In my great task who gives me aid ?
Who stands by me and helps me as a friend ?
By whom is my difficult mission easy made,
It is brave Vishtasp .. may his rule extend
Over all the seven climes and never end !
It is he the mighty Lord of Iran blest,
May God always defend this glorious kingdom,
Long last his lustrous throne, his crown and crest !
His standard peaceful wave from east to west !
Your children who from Haechetasp are sprung,
Descendants from the ancient Spitaman's house,
Who have to virtue clung with a firm resolve,
To preach Mazda's faith yourself aroused.
With fervent zeal the cause of Truth espoused,
You can discriminate all right from wrong,
Teach the wakeful and stir up those who drowse,
In Mazda's service be devout and strong,
And celebrate his glories in Manthra strong.
O Farshostar of holy Habub stock,
Our staunch and new disciples wisely guide,
For their unlock wide the gates of wisdom,
And stand by them throughout their worldly life/

And lead them onto where great Mazda reigns

Where virtue rules supreme and no sin remains
Where all in peace and joy - no pangs, no pains.

On all affairs thy watch benignly keep
And therefrom let the world full profit reap.
Those who follow me will get their best rewards,
For in God's luxuriant bounties they will share,
For they do follow Truth with conscience free
And themselves as worshippers of God declare.
To fight all wicked lies - they boldly dare,
They honour and uphold Ahura Mazda's creed.
And for their defence and welfare He does care
With his continuous help let us proceed,
To carry out our work and we will succeed.
He will reward us for our loyal zeal,
The highest of worldly blessings we shall find,
In his protection shall we always feel
Secure from harm of every kind.
Let us stand combined to serve Him long,
He'll not forget us in the future state,
Where lasting bliss to us will be assigned,
With many who will deserve that happy state,
By their regard for His supreme written commands.
