      Hàng cờ bay bóng ngất mờ mờ.
      Flutes pipe and send faint echoes from afar,
      Flags file and stir vague shadows to and fro.

      Vài tuần chưa cạn chén khuyên,
      Mái ngoài nghỉ đã giục liền ruổi xe.
      These moments were not enough for the farewell cups to be emptied,
      Yet outside, he already urged for a quick departure.
