Happy Naw-Ruz

Happy Naw-Ruz1

Hope is reborn on the Vernal Equinox,
Across the world Baha'is celebrate a New Year,
Praise ascends through the planet's atmosphere,
Prayers give thanks for the ordinance of Naw-Ruz,
Young and old consecrate this sacred day.

Naw-Ruz symbolizes divine unity,
Acknowledges the oneness of God's messengers,
Welcomes all humanity to celebrate.

Radiates the light of God's new revelation,
Upholds the common foundation of religion:
Zeal and enthusiasm shown by celebrants.
