    • 1936, Attila József, Nagyon fáj (It Hurts So Much), translated by Peter Zollman,[1] László Fórizs (Q1005876), and Tamás Kabdebó (Q1103115)
      Nem szégyenlem, ha kitalálom, // hisz kitaszit / a világ így is olyat, akit / kábít a nap, rettent az álom.
      It’s not a shame to guess this right, // but I’m aware / that we are hated everywhere / who dream by day and fret at night.
      (literally, “…who is dazed by the Sun and terrified by dreams.”)
      I’m not ashamed that I found it out. // Because who is / scared by his dreams dazed by the sun / will be driven out in any case.
      No shame on me to find just only one // solution, since / an outcast I am / frightened by dreams and dazed by the sun.
