Vietnamese alphabet (chữ Quốc Ngữ, 𡨸國語)
𣥱璧桂𩙍鐄囂忆
Trải vách quế gió vàng hiu hắt
𤗖羽衣𨗺𠖯如銅
Mảnh vũ y lạnh ngắt như đồng
怨之仍客椒房
Oán chi những khách tiêu phòng
𦓡𠺼分薄𦣰𥪞𦟐桃
Mà xui phận bạc nằm trong má đào
緣㐌𪝅據𡫡𫣚𥗐
Duyên đã may cớ sao lại rủi
𢣂源𩂀𢷣唯𡫡當
Nghĩ nguồn cơn dở dói sao đang
爲兜𢧚餒𢷣𢬥
Vì đâu nên nỗi dở dang
𢣂𨉟𨉟𫣚𬁮傷餒𨉟
Nghĩ mình, mình lại thêm thương nỗi mình
