Delapan Baris Sajak

Sajak Tu Fu



Setelah lama bersama, sekarang perpisahan itu tiba,

Gunung hijau, sia-sia saja di situ rasa kita berkaca.

Bilakah lagi? Kita raih dan angkat gelas piala?

Semalam masih sempat kita berjalan di bawah bulan.

Di setiap negeri, engkau dimuliakan, engkau dirayakan,

Tiga penguasa menganugerahimu piagam penghargaan.

Aku kembali sendiri ke desa bersisian sungai,

Melawan sepi, melawan tubuh yang kian lunglai.



Eight Rhymes



After long escort, from now on we part,

Green mountains in vain mirror our feelings.

When will we again grasp the cup?

Last night we walked together under the moon.

In each region, you are eulogised and cherished,

In three reigns have received exceptional honour.

To riverside village alone I return,

Lonely struggle against declining health.
