城阙[2]辅三秦[3],
风烟[4]望五津。

天涯若比邻。
无为[7]在歧路,
儿女共沾巾。

Farewell to Prefect Du
Wang Bo
You leave the town walled far and wide
For mist-veiled land by riverside.
I feel on parting sad and drear,
For both of us are strangers here.
If you have friends who know your heart,
Distance cannot keep you apart.
At crossroads where we bid adieu,
Do not shed tears as women do!
