Could Anyone Help Translate ?

21 September, 2008 — zoroastriansnet

Dear friends,
Hi, found this Beautiful, Divine picture sometime back on the net and since then have been curious as to : -
1) What are the words written in this picture and
2) What is their meaning.
Sometime back during the Kadmi muktad days i asked an elderly Irani lady who used to come to Mithaiwalla agiary with her family for the muktad prayers. She told me that it looked very much like the ancient Dari language. She told me that it is neither Humata, Hukhta, Hvarashta nor is it Manashni, Gavashni, Kunashni, but she could not tell me exactly what was written as she was not that familiar with the language. Unfortunately none of the other Irani ladies there could tell me.
Could any one of you help please?
Ushta Te…….
