Saal Mubarak!
Here’s wishing all maijis and bawajis a very happy New Year./ As you celebrate it with gaiety, please lend me your ear./ You may dance, wine and dine with sev dahi, pullav dar/ Remember to peep into the future, and wisely think far.
If this attitude of indifference we continue to follow/ If our lifestyle continues to be shallow and hollow/ If marriages continue to be performed between cow and buffalo/ Soon there will be no one to this Parsi calendar follow.
Trend if this continues Parsis soon from earth will perish/ Satums will be prayed; others’ our names may cherish!/ Let us marry early, within the clan and have children three./ Work we will have to for our own cause; nothing here is free.
