Happy Nawrūz has arrived;
O Lord! May it be blessed!
Purity has come in abundance;
O Lord! May it be blessed!.
The garden is flourishing and growing;
the home is full of light and purity;
the lilies have opened up their tongues;
O Lord! May it be blessed!
The desert has now been decked with the silk of flowers;
the world has become like a paradise;
O Lord! May it be blessed!
