昔日戲言身後意，We used to joke about the afterlife.

今朝都到眼前來。 Now it has become a reality in life.

衣裳已施行看盡， Though I have given away almost all your clothes,

針線猶存未忍開。 I am reluctant to open your box of needles and threads.

尚想舊情憐婢僕， I treat your maids and servants nicely because I miss you.

也曾因夢送錢財。 sending you fake money because I dreamed of you.

誠知此恨人人有，  I surely know that nobody can evade such a grief.

貧賤夫妻百事哀。  especially a pathetic couple whose togetherness is so brief.
