Year of 811 AD, Heard Bai Juyi Would Be in Jiangzhou
闻 乐 天 授 江 州 司 马
残 灯 无 焰 影 憧 憧
此 夕 闻 君 谪 九 江。
垂 死 病 中 惊 坐 起
暗 风 吹 雨 入 寒 窗。
Wen Yue Tian Shou Jiang Zhou Si Ma
Can deng wu yan ying chong chong
Ci xi wen jun zhe jiu jiang.
Chui si bing zhong jing zuo qi
An feng chui yu ru han chuang.
Year of 811 AD, Heard That Bai Juyi Would Be in Jiangzhou
Flickering lantern light and flame failing within the growing shadows
At sunset, heard that you have been banished into exile.
In the middle of a serious illness, I sit up with a start
Hidden winds and rain enter into my cold windows.
