TO WOMAN INTELLECTUAL BOI TRAN

TẶNG NỮ SĨ BỘI TRÂN

Quintessence refines the woman intellectual
She is tender, graceful, and virtuous
The vicissitudes of life cultivate her willpower
She is gentle, unworldly, and peaceable
After rainstorm comes tranquil weather
The life of human suffering remains purely angelic
Distinguished writers, eminent poets begrudge and resent
Her reciprocation is altruistic, with a smile

Tinh tuý hun đúc nên nữ sĩ
Dịu hiền tha thướt nét đoan nghiêm,
Cuộc đời tôi luyện thành chí khí
Nhẹ nhàng thanh thoát sống bình yên.
Sau bao giông tố trời tĩnh lặng
Đời người phong bạc vẫn hồn nhiên,
Tao nhân mặc khách hờn ganh tỵ
Đáp lại bao dung một nụ cười.

BUDDHA MASTER, SUGATA CHON HUONG
