送别

王维
 
下马饮君酒， 问君何所之。
君言不得意， 归卧南山陲。
但去莫复闻， 白云无尽时。

Translation:

AT PARTING

Wang Wei
 
I dismount from my horse and I offer you wine,
And I ask you where you are going and why.
And you answer: "I am discontent
And would rest at the foot of the southern mountain.
So give me leave and ask me no questions.
White clouds pass there without end."
