逢入京使 On Meeting a Messenger to the Capital

岑參 Cen Can

故 园 东 望 路 漫 漫 ，
It's a long way home, a long way east.
gù yuán dōng wàng lù màn màn ，
双 袖 龙 钟 泪 不 干 。
I am old and my sleeve is wet with tears.
shuāng xiù lóng zhōng lèi bù gān 。
马 上 相 逢 无 纸 笔 ，
We meet on horseback. I have no means of writing.
mǎ shàng xiāng féng wú zhǐ bǐ ，
凭 君 传 语 报 平 安 。
Tell them three words: "He is safe."
píng jūn chuán yǔ bào píng ān 。
