月圓,伏惟三世諸佛。
貍奴白牯,各各起居萬福。
時中淡薄,無可相延,切希寬抱。
老水牯牛,近日亦自多病多惱,不甘水草。
遇著暖日和風,當下和身便倒。
教渠拽杷牽犁,直是搖頭擺腦。
可憐萬頃良田,一時變為荒草。
月圓,伏惟三世諸佛。
貍奴白牯,各各起居萬福。
時中淡薄,無可相延,切希寬抱。
老水牯牛,近日亦自多病多惱,不甘水草。
遇著暖日和風,當下和身便倒。
教渠拽杷牽犁,直是搖頭擺腦。
可憐萬頃良田,一時變為荒草。
月亮圓了,我恭敬地思念三世諸佛。
貓兒和白牛犢,每一位,都祝願你們萬福。
時下生活淡泊清貧,沒有什麼可以款待,懇切希望你們多多包涵。
那頭老水牛,近來也是自己多病多煩惱,對水草都不感興趣。
遇到暖和的太陽與和風,當場就全身癱倒。
教它去拉耙牽犁,它只是搖頭擺腦。
可憐那萬頃良田,一時間都變成了荒草。
The moon is full, I humbly think of all Buddhas of the Three Ages.
The cat and the white calf, each and every one, I wish you boundless blessings.
In these times of plainness and scarcity, I have nothing to offer in hospitality, I sincerely hope you will bear with me.
The old water buffalo, lately too, is himself plagued by many ailments and troubles, and finds no pleasure in water or grass.
Meeting warm sun and gentle breeze, on the spot he collapses his whole body.
Trying to make him pull the harrow and draw the plough, he just shakes his head and wags his tail.
Alas, ten thousand acres of fine fields, in a moment turn into wasteland.
月圓象徵圓滿,體現對超驗秩序的認同與皈依。
月圓之時禮讚諸佛,充滿虔敬與圓滿之意。
本詩為雜言(偈頌體),押平聲韻。
