故園東望路漫漫，
双袖龍鐘淚不乾
馬上相逢無紙筆，
憑君傳語報平安。
Original poem "逢入京使” by 岑参
On Meeting an Official Courier to the Capital
East I look to my homestead, O long, long is the way;
My pair of sleeves all dampened, my tears still rolling away.
Here we meet on horseback, no paper nor pen in hand,
So I say: I’m safe and well, sir--- O, tell them this, I pray.
