1. You have subdued the wild beasts and gazelles of the desert by force
And the birds in their surroundings, amusement and love

2. You still hunt, O highest of mankind in glory
The courage of men, the honor of kings and states

3. O ruler of the land after its rulers
And leader trusting in the Most Merciful

4. May God not fulfill for me during my lifetime any hope
If you are not for me in what I hope, a hope

5. When tomorrow all creation is busy away from you
Your love for me will be busier for me than all of them
