Translation:

I am afraid I might worship you, because
You are a mirror reflecting the beauty of God Almighty
In dignity and perfection, you are the daughter of monotheism
In nobility and majesty you are the mother of your father

Note:

The meter has the equivalent of three metra per verse. The pause is lengthened to make each verse four metra long. In this recording, the tapping pattern is slow and the metron boundaries that fall in silence periods are not immediately followed by taps. It is therefore impossible to measure metron lengths for this recording. Hence, only the tapping pattern is reported.
