Inside the empty hills I see no men,
The human words I hear are merely echoes.
Returning deep within the woods again,
The light reflects atop, where green moss grows.

空山不見人,
但聞人語響。
返景入深林,
復照青苔上。

Empty mountain no see men,
Only hear men’s word echoes.
Return view enter deep forest,
Repeatedly shine green moss top.
