Revive our religion
Revive our religion before it is too late/We are to be blamed for this present state/Imbibe the spirit of Lord Zara-thushtra/Respect all religions but pray to Ahura Mazda.
Ours is the oldest religion till date/Many others never even existed/Our religion is in a pathetic state/Do some thing before it disintegrates.
We left Iran to save our religion/Our rich heritage we have slowly forgotten/Community that was so outstanding in every way/Today it is dwindling day by day.
Parsis once were the pride of the nation/Other communities have soon overtaken/Loss of cultural traditions/Added with demographic decline.
It is time our elders apply their mind/Our minuscule minority will soon disappear/The youth of today must all sit together/Save our rich heritage before it is completely lost./Take initiative to have a meaningful dialog.
Revive our religion before it is too late/We are to be blamed for this present state/Dasturjis and madressas should all be encouraged/Bring back the lost glory and the rich heritage.
