أفكار في ليلة السفر
On the shore, fine grass and a gentle wind; a lone boat with its tall mast in the night.
Stars hang low, the level plain stretches wide; the moon surges up, the great river flows on.
My name—should it be known through my writings? An official, I should retire, old and ill.
Drifting, drifting—what does it resemble? A single sandpiper between heaven and earth.
旅夜書懷
細草微風岸，危檣獨夜舟。
星垂平野闊，月湧大江流。
名豈文章著，官應老病休。
飄飄何所似？天地一沙鷗。
