The sun

O Sun! The world's essence and motivator you are

The organizer of the book of the world you are

The splendor of existence has been created by you

The verdure of the garden of existence depends on you

The spectacle of elements is maintained by you

The exigency of life in all is maintained by you

Your appearance confers stability on everything

Your illumination and concord is completion of life

You are the sun which establishes light in the world

Which establishes heart, intellect, essence and wisdom

O Sun! Bestow on us the light of wisdom

Bestow your luster's light on the intellect's eye

You are the decorator of necessaries of existence' assemblage

You are the Yazdan of the denizens of the high and the low

Your excellence is reflected from every living thing

The mountain range also shows your elegance

You are the sustainer of the life of all

You are the king of the light's children

There is no beginning and no end of yours

Free of limits of time is the light  of yours

Explanatory Notes1. Yazd«n- In the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian philosophy of Persia he is the god of good and virtue as opposed to Ahraman, who is the god of evil and sin.2. This does not mean that the sun is eternal in the theological sense, but that it will last in the present form till the existence of the material universe in its present form.
