cí mò yǐ rénshēng rú mèng zhī tàn ，zhuǎn zūnjiǔ jìng jiāngyuè wèi jié ，mèng yǔ jiāngyuè jiē shǔ xūhuàn ，jiérán yīshēn de gūdú què yòu shífēn zhēnshí ，rénshēng jìngyù duō kǔ ，yǔqí chénnì ，bùrú fàngkāi xiōnghuái 、hējiǔ shǎng yuè ，fāng bùshī sǎtuō 。
The poem ends with exasperation at how life is like a dream, and ends with a toast to the moon's reflection on the river. Both the dreams and the moon on the river's surface are illusory, the lonely solitude is quite real. Rather than wallowing in the pain of one's life circumstance, it's perhaps better to open one's mind, and drink while admiring the moon, letting go of all constraints.
