With justice strictly true - God deals with all
He judges the Good and the Evil too
He'll make the Good rejoice, the evil repent
Upon this unchangeable Law let all men contemplate
Understand and study well that - God wants from all
Only good thoughts, good words and good deeds.
And avoid all actions - tortuous, vicious, crude,
Truth alone succeeds... as lies always fail
All human happiness from Truth proceeds.
You'll walk in Truth if you help a righteous man
Whether he be your kith, kin - or not,
Save him from harm as best you can
Support all.... through thick and thin
...for they do not tread the path of sin.
When such men you uphold with all your might
God's blest abode you're sure to find
Your soul will rest peacefully in heavenly light
And enjoy all celestial comfort with delight.
Bow down in prayer, o men, to drive away
All disobedience and unrighteousness
From your stubborn hearts...
Pray night and day - avoid arrogance and confess daily sins
Repress passions wild .. to gain great Mazda's favour
He will your life and actions fully bless,
So that on this earth you remain in peace
And thereafter ... paradise attain.
O God ... direct Thy benign angel Sraosh
Your first and foremost ..your inextinguishable light
To render help to me and mine.
We cherish most the hope to serve Thee well
To be your favored follower is our honest boast
When Sraosh defends me - nothing more I need
I'll prove faithful to my prophetic post
No labour and no danger will I fear
To proceed on my appointed task.
An honest worshipper - I shall always pray....
With purity of mind and heart to Thee.
So that with your all-powerful help I may
Accomplish soon the task assigned to me
To immunise the world from harm and set it free
Two things I boldly ask of Thee -
That Thee in all Thy glory I may see
And that I may with Thee conversations hold
And with that Thy great designs unfold.
O Lord Supreme - reveal thyself to me
And teach me all that's best for me to know
So that I may share whatever I learn from Thee
And unveil to the world your might and mercy.....
That all may see how endlessly blessings can flow
From a firm and loyal obedience to Thy will ....
And disasters disappear by disregarding them.
Savage beasts are men who fight and kill each other
They cover the fair earth with blood and carnage.
O God teach me how to serve Thee best
With all my sincerity and zeal I wish ...
To carry out your highest commands,
I feel a strong desire to work for Thee........
and reveal truly Thy word sublime.
To be your humble devotee I shall always try....
And appeal to you for daily guidance.
I'll tell the world what you share with me
To free mankind forever from all harm.
Through virtuous mind, O Lord, my strength increase
And keep me fit for this wonderful task
My aim and object ... to never idly sit
And please you always with my work.
For your pleasure sweet ... will I submit
And work for you with all my might ....
O God ..... inspire me to fight against all evil....
Inspire me with your words and presence.
Ahura Mazda grant us all... your blessings pure
for Truth and virtuous deeds by you conferred ...
To firmly and surely brave all evils
Without an ounce of fear or doubt.
By completely controlling all thought, word and deed
To sing your praises ..... in tuneful rhymes
Discard all vice with unfeigned hate
And destroy Angremainyush for his crimes
May he be cursed a hundred thousand times.
Mighty and Kind .. and Benevolent Ahura Mazda
Please to my request listen favourably ...
Enlighten my mind to direct me in my work
And for my support Thy glorious angels send.
Before Thy brilliant throne I humbly bend....
Give me purity of heart and good sense
With the strength of the wise ...
so that I may fight against the deceivers ...
Who, by their wickedness ....
Lead unthinking men from the path of virtue.
O Mazda, Thy help alone will guarantee success
so to Thee ... myself ... I fully dedicate.
Relying on Thee .. I shall soon suppress
Blind superstitions .... and propagate
Belief in Thy ancient religion .. in its fair and pristine state.
That belief alone affords protection sure,
And opens out for mankind the blessed gate
Of heaven above ... where all can securely rest
In calm and peace ... amidst surroundings pure.
He judges the Good and the Evil too
