一一身身元元本本別别
四四大大聚聚會会同同
直直似似風风吹吹火火
還还如如火火逐逐風风
火火強强風风熾炽疾疾
風风疾疾火火愈愈烘烘
火火風风俱俱氣气盡尽
星星散散惣惣成成空空
Translation
This body was never one to begin with; the four elements merely gathered together. They’re like wind stirring fire, or fire chasing after wind. As the fire grows fiercer, the wind blows stronger; as the wind speeds up, the fire blazes hotter. Then both fire and wind run out of breath, the sparks scatter into emptiness.
