Navroz mubarak hojoji
From this auspicious dawn, let’s spare a moment’s view/ To introspect and think how to thank Ahura in lieu/ Of all the good things upon us bestowed;/ For saving us from difficulties that would have us, hollowed.
Pray Yathas five followed by Ashems three, as often as we can/ Along with manashni, gavashni, kunashni, that we maintain./ To the agiary often visit; and our kusti religiously do/ To early marriage a Parsi spouse; and have children four not two.
However busy is our schedule, include minutes for Him/ For it is He we turn to for solace when the light is dim/ So from the morn of YZ 1383, moments few let us all spare/ To tell Ahura and Zarathushtra, "For you we really do care.”
