BASHO, The Old Pond Haiku Translations:
The old pond,
A frog jumps in
Plop!
(translated by Alan Watts)
A frog jumps in
Plop!
(translated by Alan Watts)

The old pond
A frog jumped in,
Kerplunk!
(translated by Allen Ginsberg)
The old pond-
A frog leaps in,
And a splash.
(translated by Makoto Ueda)
A frog leaps in,
The sound of the water.
(translated by Edward Seidensticker)
A frog jumping
Into the stillness.
Of an ancient pond.
(translated by Dorothy Briton)
Gloom gathers and weighs
ominously overhead;
run to safety, now!
