Khudavind Khavind

 

Khudavind Khavind Oh Parvardegar,

Namu Tari Dadgahe Hun Khaak Saar.

 

Thayo Roj Akher Sharu Thai Che Raat,

Tane Raji Karvaathi Hun Chun Pachhaat.

 

Dayalu Khudavind Oh Jagna Re Baap,

Mane Saru Dahpan Ne budhi Tu Aap.

 

Ke Bhulo Sudharun Have roj be roj,

Ke Bhalai Vadharun Kari Nitya Khoj.

 

Bhalu hakma Mare te janu nahi,

Bhalu je mane te ju jane sahi.

 

Bahu ajiji thin amine khuda,

Karu chun dua ashisho de sada.

 

Ke tari madadthi hun rakhu vivek,

Manashni, gavashni, kunashni je nek.

 

Mane tari Pas-banima suvad,

Bhala kamo karva savare uthad.

O Zarathushtra

(to the tune of ‘You are my sunshine’)

 

O Zarathushtra Dear Zarathushtra,

You make me happy when I am blue,

You are my light when I’m in the darkness,

I want to be always with you.

 

O Zarathushtra Dear Zarathushtra,

You are my teacher, You are my guide.

You taught me to wear the sudreh kusti,

O Zarathushtra never leave my side.

 

O Zarathushtra Dear Zarathushtra,

You taught me never to tell a lie.

You taught me to praise Ahuramazda,

And to worship the Aatash Padshah.

 

I’ll honour and keep all your commandments,

I’ll keep my mind and my body pure,

I’ll tread the path of Ashoi you taught me,

And battle Evil till my dying day.


Ahura Mazda, We Thank You

Thank You, O Thank You, O Thank You Ahura Mazdaaa.

 

We thank you for the parents you gave us,

We thank you for the teachers we have,

But most of all we come to thank you,

For making Zarathushtra our guide.

 

Thank You, O Thank You, O Thank You Ahura Mazda – Mazda,

Thank You, O Thank You, O Thank You Ahura Mazdaaa.

A healthy and Happy Zarathusty.

In Praise of Fire

(to the tune of ‘Irene Goodnight’)

 

Atash Padshah, atash Padshah,

I love thee so and worship thee,

O son of Ahura Mazda.

 

Thou are worthy of Worship,

May thou be ever so,

We bring to you as offering,

Our good deeds, we’ve done today.

 

Atash Padshah, Atash Padshah,

Your glowing light is over us,

The noor of Ahura Mazda.

 

You bless us with heatlh and abundance,

And a mind that is sharp as steel,

You bless us with good progeny,

Heroic and full of Ashoi.

 

Atash Padshah, Atash Padshah,

You are the son of Ahura Mazda,

Protect me night and day.

 

Atash Padshah, Atash Padshah,

You are the son of Ahura Mazda,

Protect me night and day.


I Love Ahura Mazda

I will do only good deeds,

Because I love Ahura Mazda.

 

I will live my life by Ashoi,

I will live my life by truth,

I will live my life by Righteousness,

Because I love Ahura Mazda.

 

I will always wear my Sudreh Kusti,

I will never ever tell lies,

I will always honour my parents,

And make them feel proud of me.

 

I will feed the poor who have no food,

I will clothe the poor who have no clothes,

I will help the poor who are needy,

Because I love Ahura Mazda.

 

I will always wear my Sudreh Kusti,

I will never ever tell lies,

I will always honour my parents,

And make them feel proud of me.
