《句》 張釜

平生憂患諳償遍，
Beyond measure, I have experienced countless hardships in my life,
獨立自成絕世仙。
Yet I have remained independent and unmatched, like an immortal.
庭前日月駐輪轉，
The sun and the moon stop and rotate in front of me,
豈是煙塵能忍邊？
How can the trivial dust of the mortal world restrain me?
駐車淚痕沾素約，
While my carriage remains parked, my tears stain my plain robe,
立命心頭俄變肩。
But with a determined mind, I suddenly lift my burden.
愿棄招花與草率，
I wish to abandon my attachment to fame and fortune,
平隨波浪無煩惱。
And live calmly like the waves of the sea, with no worries.
常恐郊原曉月照，
I am often afraid that the moon at dawn will expose my loneliness,
知己無人愿共見。
But there is no one with whom I can share my true self.
莫磨菱鏡猶桃花，
Do not polish the mirror, as it will still reflect peach blossoms,
矣是清涼到中天。
Indeed, it radiates coolness up to the sky.
古來多少紅塵事，
Throughout the ages, there have been countless worldly affairs,
何曾觸動道人肩？
But none of them has ever shaken the shoulder of a Daoist.
細說來因大夢驚，
Upon reflection, I realize that all this is but a grand dream,
夢魂深處有心天。
And deep within my dreamy soul lies a heavenly heart.
