原文：
永之氓咸善游。一日，水暴甚，有五、六氓乘小船绝湘水。中济，船破，皆游。其一氓尽力而不能寻常。其侣曰：“汝善游最也，今何后为？”曰：“吾腰千钱，重，是以后。”曰：“何不去之？”不应，摇其首。有顷，益怠。已济者立岸上呼且号曰：“汝愚之甚，蔽之甚，身且死，何以货为？”又摇其首。遂溺死。吾哀之。且若是，得不有大货之溺大氓者乎？于是作《哀溺》。

Lyrics to the Melody Dedicated to Lady Yu
Beyond the meandering balustrades skies and waters seem alike,
Against the same balustrade I also leaned that night.
At first I took a bright moon for a sign that could us reunite,
Especially on days with a full moon, for his return I would pine.
Worn is my dress, yet there lingers a fragrance of days that have gone by,
There's nothing to sway me from what I've decided.
One spring's parting leaves me melancholy and lethargic to strings tighten.
Two trails of tears roll freely as I sit before a zither that is priceless.
