远离自我

注定的道路早已远去，
消散于雾镜般的彼端。
凝望的双眼沉默荒寂，
破碎的静止遮蔽天空。

思绪尽失，旧庭与亲人皆无，
成了自身呼吸中的流放者。
心痛中寻觅之人，
面容已隐入记忆之雾。

是的，我们已远离自身，
无清明之影，无可辨之形。
唯余旋转的幽暗迷阵，
疲惫地附着每一次呼吸，
仿佛有人在炽烈人生中寻荫。

被日光暴烈灼烧，
山谷在沉默处疲惫终结。
生命仍在解读自身深处，
追问灵魂倒影。

如今已无人可归，
连影子亦生疏寂然。
一丝幽惧自心而生，
我们早已偏离本真。

或许仍有未知的彼岸，
或生命本是不断远行。
春之盛景虽引人迷失，
仍有幻影低语，召唤叹息。

Far Away From the Self

Our destined paths have long departed into distance,
Trails now scattered within the mirrors of mist,
Silent and desolate have lapsed these watchful eyes,
As fractured stillness veils the horizon’s reach.

No thought remains, nor courtyard of old, nor kin,
We have become exiles within our native breath,
Those we sought in the ache of each heartbeat,
Their visages now wane in the fog of memory.

Yes,far away we’ve wandered from our very selves,
No vision remains, no image bears clarity,
Only a circling maze of dim reflection,
As though weariness clings to every breath,
And someone seeks shade within this scorching life.

Burned by the cruel majesty of solar wrath,
The valley ends where silence may cradle the weary,
Yet life has wearied in deciphering its own depths,
In quests to comprehend the soul’s own reflection.

Now it seems as if none remains to call our own,
And even our shadow feels estrangement and silence,
A quiet dread arises from within the self,
For we have strayed far from our own essence.

Perhaps, there lies a destination still unknown,
Or life itself is but the name of onward wandering,
Though the pageantry of springtime leads the soul astray,

Some visions yet persist, ordained to summon lamentation.

守望的灵魂

庄严守望，灵魂深处苏醒；
火焰，潜藏于人性帷幕下，渴望燃烧。
古老的呼声穿过思想的褶皱，
静默的时光，正酝酿先知所追寻之物。

灵魂向往云天，燃着和平之光，
向往宁静与安然，披覆天宇。
神圣箴言照亮心灵疆域，
以恩泽低语，于理性的回响间。

多少世纪，渴求一泓清泉，
能疗愈梦想遗下的创伤。
如朝圣者，擎举思想之火，
为群星命名，却不求声名。

愿和平乘智慧之翼而来，
愿万灵于静默中同声歌唱；
愿真理成为伤者的庇护，
让暴政消亡于光明诞生之处。

终有一日，分裂的帷幕将坠落，
一个声音将在众人心中回响。
那些沉醉权力的人终将退场，
时光判决，他们无力守住的荣光。


A Vigilant Soul Awaits

A solemn vigil stirs the soul’s deep core,
Veiled fire beneath humanity longs to roar,
An ancient cry breathes through the folds of thought,
Time’s hush prepares the truth ,the seers sought.

The soul desires clouds ablaze with peace,
Tranquility draped in celestial, silent release,
Is a sacred phrase to light the mind’s domain!
And whisper grace through reason’s rich refrain.

For centuries I’ve thirsted for one stream,
A draught to heal the wounds of dream,
A pilgrim bearing thought’s illumined flame,
I name the stars, yet shun all fame.

Let peace arise on wisdom’s tempered wing,
Let every soul in silent union sing,
Let truth be refuge for the bruised and torn,
And tyranny die where light is born.

A day shall come when division’s veil shall fall,
One voice shall echo in the hearts of all,
Those drunk on power shall at last descend,
Marked by the time their might can not defend.

诗歌赏析：

萨吉德·侯赛因博士（Dr. Sajid Hussain）这两首诗以存在意识与人类命运为共同主题，将个体灵魂的迷失与和平、真理的追寻融为一体。《远离自我》借雾、影、呼吸等意象呈现现代人的精神流放，《守望的灵魂》则以光、火焰、清泉等象征寄寓对和平与良知的信念。语言凝练典雅，意象层层递进，哲思深邃而富有抒情力量，展现出开阔的人文关怀与鲜明的精神高度。（佩英）

一杯寂寥

可愿饮一杯寂寥？

初秋的思念，
遥遥而来，
蓝若高天。
在澄明的世界里
缓缓积聚。
舀一匙思念，
滴入杯中。


A Cup of Lonesomeness

Would you like
a cup of lonesomeness?

in early autumn,
a faraway longing,
as blue as the high,
high sky,

Pooling
as the pure, pure World,
in early autumn.

A spoonful of that longing,
Let drop in it.

半酌已倾

仁寺洞街头酒棚小聚，
“半酌已倾”
遂成一夕之题。

读书观剧，常泪盈于睫；
夫笑抬我颔曰：“又作小儿啼。”
今他亦闻悲则泫然，
归途中，竟因广播而泣。

晚餐之际，子女已各自离巢，
银发夫妻对坐，
相视皆生温柔怜惜。

是半酌已倾故欤？
抑或尚余半酌，犹可同倾？
一瓶生命，其深莫测……


Half the Liquor Has Been Spilled

At a drinking gathering at that street-side drinking tent in Insadong,
the saying “Half the liquor has been spilled” became the evening's theme.

While I read books or watched TV dramas, tears often gathering in my eyes,
my husband would come over, tilt my chin upward, and tease,
“There goes our baby crying again.”
Yet these days, whenever he hears even the saddest tale, his eyes grow moist.
Today as well, he arrived in haste, saying he had been moved to tears by a radio program on his way home from work.

At the evening table, after the grown children have left the nest,
a husband and wife with silvering hair sit across from each other,
exchanging glances of gentle compassion.

Is it because half the liquor has already been spilled?
Or is it the hope in our eyes that half the bottle still remains to be shared?
Inside the bottle of life, whose depths no one can truly know...

归海

一座墙体歪斜的屋子。
我常笑说，每夜枕着遗愿而眠，
不知何时便塌。

彼时尚未谈及重建，
童年与青春之河，奔涌其间。
泥砖之屋，宛如牢窗，
却有阳光不羁闯入，
成为我全部血脉。

其余一切，皆藏于旧抽屉。
栖居虽不丰饶，亦温暖。
那时书写绿封日记，
岁月如月般缓缓成熟。

而今母亲年迈，括约已松，
连坐便器亦成多余；
世事如箭疾驰与否，皆无关紧，
她已抵达七十九岁的安息之年。

河水入海，遂自放下身段。
啊，生命不过是归于海的修行。

弯曲之墙，亦是向海的弧线。
昔日为“我”的她，今在何方？
而今之“我”，又将归向何处？


Becoming the Sea

It was a house with crooked walls.
We used to laugh, saying we slept each night with our wills beside us,
never knowing when it might collapse.
In those days, when redevelopment was still a distant dream,
the river of my childhood and youth rushed through that place in torrents.
That house of mud bricks—even through its prison-like windows,
the sunlight that barged in without restraint was my very lifeblood.
Everything else was piled away in my old drawer.
Our nest was neither grand nor prosperous, yet it was warm.
Back then, green diaries were written, and days ripened gently like the moon.
Now my mother, whose sphincter has weakened with age,
renders even a bidet unnecessary;
whether the affairs of the world race past like an arrow or not,
her time has come to rest at seventy-nine.
The river water, having reached the sea, lets go of itself.
Ah, life is the task of becoming the sea.
The curved wall was a line bending toward the sea.
Where is she who was once me?
And where is the I who was once her now heading?

诗人之歌

抛却一切预设之式，
我将一个午后轻轻放下。

一声由心而出的长鸣，
催生变量间的新芽；
背负岁月之重，
沿河岸独行。

与诗之灵性合一，
秘门悄然开启。
狂喜之微颤如波，
轻抚思索之香；
空白之中起伏的呼吸，
流溢为不绝余响。

穿越辽阔的寂静，
我反复修订，再三修订。
直至日光之暖，
轻轻解开一切栓锁；
成熟如佳酿的孤独诗句，
舒展金色之翼。


Song of the Poet

Casting aside all those prearranged formulas,
I leave one afternoon behind.
With a heartfelt cry,
I coax new shoots from variables,
and, carrying the weight of years upon my back,
walk along the riverbank.

Becoming one with the spirit of poetry,
I find the secret door opening.
As waves of ecstatic tremors
gently soothe the fragrance of contemplation,
the excited breaths within the blank spaces
pour forth a lingering resonance.

Crossing the vastness of silence,
I revise and revise again.
Then the warmth of sunlight
softly unfastens the bolts,
and the well-ripened verses of solitude
spread their golden wings.

诗歌赏析:

这四位韩国诗人的作品虽风格各异，却共同体现了韩国当代诗歌内敛、深情而富于哲思的美学特质。安惠朝以极简笔触凝炼思念与孤独，于日常意象中见深情；李惠善借家庭生活映照岁月流转，以细腻情感诠释生命温度；林素奈将个人记忆、母爱与生命归宿交织，赋予现实经验辽阔的存在意义；金富培则以时调传统融汇现代诗性，展现诗歌创作的精神升华。四人的作品语言清澈凝练，意象含蓄典雅，在平静叙述中蕴藏深厚的人文关怀与东方哲思，彰显韩国诗歌兼具传统底蕴与现代意识的独特魅力。(佩英）

Editorials：

Although distinct in style, the works of these four Korean poets collectively embody the restrained lyricism, emotional depth, and philosophical richness of contemporary Korean poetry. Ahn Hye-cho distills longing and solitude through minimalist imagery; Dr. Lee Hye-Seon reflects the passage of time and the warmth of life through intimate family moments; Lim So-na interweaves memory, maternal love, and the soul’s ultimate destination, transforming personal experience into existential meditation; while Kim Bubae fuses the classical sijo tradition with modern poetic sensibility, elevating poetry into a spiritual quest. Their poems are marked by lucid, concise language, refined imagery, profound humanistic concern, and an enduring Eastern philosophical spirit, revealing the distinctive harmony of tradition and modernity in Korean poetry.（By Christine Chen）
