Tien dhieh luo lien, mlieq blanh thien lien
Blanh blanh sarq thirnh, xlirnq valq manq thirn
Slurn vuon hluoh hlrq, nguoh lieq klrn mlien
Thirn zlarh valq thlan, gienh dharq xlr hlien

Heaven and earth are like a lotus, each petal connected,
And each petal collected assures but never fills the heart.
Spring winds turn to rain as enlightenment shines bright,
And in silence, the heart finds wisdom with each step.

Tien dhieh thien thlienh, zluonh blanh zlr nglieq
Vie dhieh zlrq tien, harq gieq sien lieq
Vie tien zlrq dhieh, hlienh gieq sien lieq
Tien dhieh ye blanh, blanh yelq gieq ha

Heaven and earth give birth to each other as the stamen of many petals,
Not of the earth is heaven, and for how many miles does it last?
Not of the heaven is earth, and for how many miles does it span?
Heaven and earth depend on the petals, yet how many petals are there?

Tien zieh thlienh blanh, tien hluo gieq blanh
Dhieh zieh thlienh blanh, dhieh hluo gieq blanh
Blanh zrq thlienh tien, tien ganh gieq gar
Blanh zrq thlienh dhieh, dhieh grn gieq thlrn

Heaven bears its own petals, yet how many petals does it bloom?
Earth bears its own petals, yet how many petals does it bloom?
From these petals, heaven is born, yet how tall is the heavenly stalk?
From these petals, earth is born, yet how deep are the earthly roots?

Tien hlrh tien mluoh, zluonh gluonh zlr nglan
Zuonq tien zlr glrn, valq mluoh zrq hlrh
Zuonq tien zlr glrn, valq hlrh zrq mluoh
Zuonq tien zlr thien, manh manh klan gluonh

The rains and mists of the sky is the birth of all rainbows
Eight skies in sixteen do not mist yet they rain
Eight skies in sixteen do not rain yet they mist
And for four of these skies, a rainbow will stretch far and wide

Zuonq hlrq zlr zrn, hlrh zrq thlienh gluonh
Zuonq mluoq zlr hlien, mluoh zrq thlienh gluonh
Zuonq gluonh zlr slie, gluonh zrq hlrh yeq
Zuonq gluonh zlr thien, gluonh zrq mluoh yeq

In six rains of sixteen, a rainbow is born
And in two mists of sixteen, a rainbow is born
So for twelve rainbows of sixteen, it has probably rained
And for four rainbows of sixteen, it was probably just mist

Tien slanh gienh gluonh, yeq thirnh yeq gluonh
Zuonq tien zlr slie, valq mluoh zrq hlrh
Zuonq tien zlr thien, valq hlrh zrq mluoh
Zuonq tien zlr slie, bienh dhieh slrn slrn

A rainbow seen in the sky changes my belief
Twelve skies in sixteen do not mist yet they rain
Four skies in sixteen do not rain yet they mist
And for twelve of these skies, the earth will be cloaked in puddles

Zuonq hlrq zlr vaq, hlrh zrq manh slrn
Zuonq mluoq zlr zrn, mluoh zrq manh slrn
Zuonq slrn zlr vaq, slrn zrq hlrh yeq
Zuonq slrn zlr hlien, slrn zrq mluoh yeq

In fourteen rains of sixteen, puddles abound
And in six mists of sixteen, puddles abound
So for fourteen puddled scenes, it has probably rained
And for two puddled scenes, it was probably just mist

Hlrq mluoq zlr lien, gluonh slrn thien lien
Zieq zieq salh thirnh, lan mlieh manq thirn
Glalh xlirn hluoh yen, nguoh lieq klrn mlien
Thirn zlarh valq thlan, gienh dharq xlr hlien

The lotus of rain and mist, connected through rainbows and puddles,
Left traces uncovered that assured but filled not the heart.
The eternal Yin turns to Yang as enlightenment shines bright,
And in silence, the heart finds wisdom with each step.

Yir tien blanh yel tien wur blanh gr tien yel blanh
