七步詩 曹植


七步詩      曹植 (192-232)

煮豆持作羮,以為汁。
萁在釜,豆在釜中泣。
本是同根生,相煎何太急。

A poem written in seven steps      Cao Zhi (192-232)

Beans are boiled for a soup to be made,
Leaving only the decoction with beans sieved away,
Under the cauldron beanstalks burn ablaze,
While beans in the cauldron crackle and weep in craze,
Hey! Brothers! We come from the same base,
Need you boil us with such rage!.
