شكوى الغرفة الداخلية (王昌齡) / Boudoir Lament (Wang Changling)

A young wife in her bower, never knowing sorrow,

On a spring day, adorned in beauty, ascends the emerald tower.

Suddenly she sees the willow hues along the roadside,

And regrets urging her husband to seek a noble title far and wide.

閨怨 (王昌齡)

閨中少婦不曾愁,春日凝妝上翠樓。

忽見陌頭楊柳色,悔教夫婿一作「壻」覓封侯。
