1. O Lord, what is your judgement, what do you see
In that vast, long dream

2. William rose up as an orator, yet he
Gave you little of your kingdom

3. He built beside you a kingdom of his own
If compared to it, yours seems insignificant

4. He bequeathed the world alive, yet he
Left no crevice or path

5. In his view, half is for the Germans
And half for the Romans, so he claims

6. O Lord, say, is it your sword or his
That, O Lord, is the heavier, more decisive one

7. If, O Lord, his dreams prove true
Then the affairs of Muslims are in jeopardy

8. We are not Germans to get a share
Nor are we Romans to be given a wick

9. O Lord, do not forget your subjects on
A day your subjects are the humiliated group

10. The crime of ignorance upon its people
Is old, and ignorance is an evil guide

11. If only we did not extend a hand to evil
And if only the shade of peace remained soothing

12. A gang took risks upon us
God suffices us, an excellent Trustee
