老夫原不愛吟詩，
因為囚中無所為。
聊借吟詩消永日，
且吟且待自由時。 [Vietnamese Literary Sinitic, trad.]- From: 1942, 胡志明 (Hú Zhìmíng) (Hồ Chí Minh), 《獄中日記·開卷》 (Prison Diary, “Beginning the Diary”); translated based on Foreign Languages Publishing House's 1972 version
- Lão phu nguyên bất ái ngâm thi,
Nhân vị tù trung vô sở vi.
Liêu tá ngâm thi tiêu vĩnh nhật,
Thả ngâm thả đãi tự do thì. [Sino-Vietnamese] - I’ve never been fond of writing poetry;
But what else can I do in thraldom?
These long days I'll spend composing poesy:
Composing may help in the wait for freedom.
