O Ye Zoroastrians of LIttle Faith
Zoroastrians are not a superior race
As it is thought out to be
Have you read the newspaper lately
Our ancient civilization is in
Utter ruins completely
We excommunicate Zoroastrian
Women married outside the Din
Yet expect other places of worship
As well as religions
To welcome & admit you in
When our pleas go answered
Taking refuge in other religions
AS well as prayers is not answer
As it is a direct slap
To our dear prophet Asho Zarathushtra
As one’s soul trembling dreading
Shivering ascends to hear its
Final fate
There are no watch towers
Sentries or guard dogs to
Guard the gate
Patiently the soul
Has to wait its turn
Alas! to turn back
It’s rather too late
