An orphan of the Northern Fortress, with ambitions high,
The wise prince’s only son, a youth with spirit bright.
At fourteen, he wept as he took up his father’s charge,
His heart returning home from a thousand miles afar.
Beneath a prosperous age, dark currents rise and swell,
Corrupt ministers rule, and court and country reel.
A rival nation watches, border beacons flare,
When peril strikes the land, his resolve grows firm.
He sweeps his sword through clouds and cuts down traitors,
Governing with diligence to safeguard home and state.
He gathers talent, cultivates the arts of peace,
And drills his troops to guard the borders well.
His iron cavalry sweeps away the enemy’s threats,
His spears and horses shine beneath the heavens’ light.
Once victory brings peace to all the realm,
The nations come to court and praise the Han Emperor.
Liu Xian’s honored name endures through all the ages,
His restored golden age wins everlasting fame.
His great achievements live in history’s pages,
His glory shines across the world for all time.
