Tum haya aur shariat ke taqazon ki baat kerte ho ...

Tum haya aur shariat ke taqazon ki baat kerte ho,
Hum ne nange jismon ko malbbos e haya dekha he,
Hum ne dekhe hein ihram mein chupe kae Ibless,
Hum ne mai khane mein kae baar khuda dekha he,

We have seen naked bodies covered in the cloth of decency,
We have seen many a Ibless (Satan) in the pilgrims garb,
We have seen in the wine tavern many a times God,

Dy iaith ar ein hysgwyddau megis pwn, A'th draddodiadau'n hual am ein traed? Mae'r cancr yn crino dy holl liw a'th lun, A'th enaid yn gornwydydd ac yn grach, Nid wyt ond...

Meditation on the Past at Tong Pass By Zhang Yanghao Translated by A.Z. Foreman Peaks and ridges mass together River breakers blast in wrath In and out through river and hill Goes the road through old Tong Pass I gaze at the western capital All my thought distraught This is the place that breaks the heart Where Han and Qin marched past Palaces and towers and halls All turned dirt at last Dynasties rise The people suffer Dynasties fall The people suffer The Original, with transcribed Yuan Dynasty pronunciation: ??????? ????, fu? l?n ry dzy ????, pw? daw ry nu ???????? ?an ?? p?w li du? kuan lu ???, wa? si tu   ???? i d?iw d?y  ???????, ?a? sim dzin xan kji? ?ji? t??y ????????? kyu? ky?' wan kjan tu tsaw' l?w t?u ?, xji? ???; paj' si? k?u ?, wa? ???! paj' si? k?u
