中文原文﹕
故園東望路漫漫，
雙袖龍鐘淚不乾。
馬上相逢無紙筆，
憑君傳語報平安。
英文翻譯 / English Translation﹕
My hometown is to the east, a long way away,
My sleeves aren't enough to wipe away all the tears in my clumsy senile state.
We meet on horseback and have nothing to write on or with,
I'll rely on you to call upon my home and the news of my safety convey.
