多心 _Full of Thoughts

多心便多事
無心本無事
逐事忙到老
誰能早醒悟

虛心應萬事
任他便無礙
一時縱爭贏
誰能總得勝

老病逐日逼
心力逐年減
息心泯煩擾
彼此安寧增

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　二○○九年十一月十四日

Full of Thoughts　Yutang Lin

As thoughts multiplied, more matters arose
In absence of thoughts, originally nothing matters
Chasing matters, one busy till advanced age
Who could wake up earlier

Responding to all matters with a humble mind
Let it be and nothing would become a hindrance
Even if one could prevail for a while
Who could always come out a victor

Day by day, aging and ailments approach closer
Year by year, attention and energy dwindle
Cease intentions to diminish worrisome bothers
One and others all enjoy peace and harmony increased
