Baz (Prayer) for Saying Grace

Ba nāme yazade, bakhshāyandeh bakhshāyeshgare meherbān Hormazd Khodāy ithā āt Yazamaide Ahurem Mazdām, ye gāmchā ashemchā dāt apaschā dāt urvarāoschā vanguhīsh, raochāoschā dāt būmīmchā, vīspāchā vohū Ashem Vohū 3.

• (After reciting the above prayer the person eats the meals, thanking the Almighty God for all good things and after washing hand and mouth, heprays as follows)

Ashem Vohū 4. Yathā Ahū Vairyō 2, Ashem Vohū 1. Ahmāi Raēshcha, Hazangrem, Jasa me Avanghe Mazda, Kerfeh mozd.

• In the Name of God and with His help (I begin to recite this prayer) (who is) the Lord Hormazd the bestower of all good things, the forgiver of sins and loving. Thus here we revere Ahura Mazda who created the animals and grain, who created water and good vegetation who created lights (of the sky) and the earth and all (other) good things (over and above these).
