Poem (Translation)
Human life is rootless like a gale,
Floating like the dust along a trail
It drifts and sails across the span of time,
Having long ago consumed its prime.
From birth we are made of the selfsame mud,
No matter whether we’re of the selfsame blood.
We should enjoy the pleasures while we may,
Whenever there is wine, we’ll drink and play.
Our youth, once gone, will not come back again,
For the selfsame dawn we wait in vain.
Grasp the time and work hard as you can,
Because the time and tide await no man.
