Vada dastur rap

Vada dasturs please advise,/ Is Khojeste Mistree really wise?
Is our prophet for us few,/ Can we not add any new
Zoroastrians to our fold?/ After all we are getting old,
And senile through inbreeding!/ Even the vultures have stopped feeding!
Doongerwadi and conversion,/ Are his biggest aversion.
Is he a messiah, or misleading,/ Your advice is what we are needing
urgently; as he is now a trustee/ with infinite capacity for "masti.”
Young and old/ Must be told,
Is the truth as Mirza says?/ Will Khojeste mend his ways.
We request you to guide your flock,/ Otherwise we’ll be on the rock.
