المبيت الليلي في الديوان الأيسر
Flowers hidden in the palace wall at dusk, chirping birds fly past to roost.
Stars approach, ten thousand doors stir; the moon nears the highest heavens, shining brighter.
I do not sleep, listening for the golden locks; carried by the wind, I imagine the jade pendants' sound.
Tomorrow morning there will be a sealed memorial—I have asked several times how the night passes.
春宿左省
花隱掖垣暮，啾啾棲鳥過。
星臨萬戶動，月傍九霄多。
不寢聽金鑰，因風想玉珂。
明朝有封事，數問夜如何。
