Meaning
“You are the father of this world, of the moving and unmoving; You are its object of worship and its greatest teacher. None is equal to You, how could any be greater, in the three worlds, O being of incomparable power? Therefore, bowing down and prostrating my body, I seek Your grace, O adorable Lord; as a father with a son, as a friend with a friend, as a lover with the beloved, so should You bear with me, O God.”
