王汉

人生历尽许多艰，方能打破生死关。
今朝一死乃真死，非比往昔徒空言。
未知此去何时会，生死留取一寸心。
若使断头成永诀，愿卿含笑贺孤魂。

Farewell to My Wife

东山 译

Only after experiencing many hardships
Can one make light of life and death.
The death I'm telling you today will be real,
Not like the talking the talk in the past.

While not knowing when we could meet again,
Let's keep each other in heart dead or alive .
If I am beheaded parting with you forever,
Please, my love, say farewell to my lonely soul with a smile.
