2 魚玄機 贈鄰女 (寄李億員外) Sent to a Neighbor Woman Friend
羞日遮(障)羅袖。
愁春懶起妝。
易求無價寶。
難得有心郎。
枕上潛垂淚。
花間暗斷腸。
自能窺宋玉。
何必恨王昌。

The sun admires us warmly so we cover our arms with gauze silk sleeves
but the sad and fitful spring makes us too lazy to put on makeup
it's easier to find rare, unparalleled treasure
than it is to have and hold one reliable lover
at night, against our pillows, we weep our secret tears
by day, among the flowers, we hide our breaking hearts
if we can have great poets for friends
should we also long for handsome lovers?
