I know it is late ,but I saw them from one translation book before,it is really nice poems:
Throughout the ages all those who have been highly successful in great ventures and in the pursuit of learning must of necessity have [successively] experienced three kinds of ching-chieh.
一曰：衣帶漸寬終不悔，為伊消得人憔悴；
expresses the first state (ching):
Last night the west wind shriveled the green-clad trees,
Alone I climb the high tower
To gaze my fill along the road to the horizon.
二曰：昨夜西風凋碧樹，獨上高樓，望盡天涯路；
expresses the second state:
My clothes grow daily more loose, yet care I not.
For you am I thus wasting away in sorrow and pain.
三曰：眾裡尋她千百度，驀然回首，那人卻在燈火闌珊處。習拳亦應如是。
expresses the third state:
I sought her in the crowd a hundred, a thousand times.
Suddenly with a turn of the head [I saw her],
That one there where the lamplight was fading.
Such words as these could not have been uttered by other than great tz’u writers. However, if we happened to use this idea [of ching-chieh] to explain the meaning of the poems themselves, I am afraid Yen Shu, Ouyang Hsiu, and Hsin Ch’i-chi would have demurred.
